December 3rd  = a reminder that we are playing the Dorin Salver, (Surrey Sim Pairs). cost £7 including £3 donation to the Surrey nominated Charity the Q.E.F.

- We have four tables committed. Any further pairs will be most welcome. 

Each week we send out an email asking players to indicate if they are playing next Tuesday. This was started after the pandemic when sometimes we didn't get four tables, which was seen as the minimum number needed for a proper duplicate movement.

As attendance has improved slightly, we have rarely failed to reach that four table minimum, so we have stopped sending the confirmation email. However I shall update this page each week on Monday or Tuesday to confirm that we have reached the four table minimum.

All tables played 4S by North on this hand from last Tuesday's duplicate but only one player made the vital overtrick. Yet there is no defence to 11 tricks for N.

The most common lead was a diamond, won by W and the continued the suit. Declarer won and played a trump to dummy, discovering the 4-0 break.

Abandoning trumps, declarer came to hand with AC and led a H to Q and ruffed a club. Now he discarded a H on a winning diamond and conceded a H. E won and played a second trump but declarer could now ruff a H and a D in dummy to make 11 tricks. There was no defence.

As we only had three Ladies Pairs on October 15th we will make another attempt to compete for the Ladies Pairs cup on Tuesday 19th November.

Surrey finished 2nd in the Tollemache (inter-county teams of 12) and qualified for the final. 7 of the 12 are Mayfield members: Messrs Lee, Fedrick, Southwell, Sadie, Granville, Dawson and Norman.
