Guides to create a pleasant atmosphere at our club.

Being a good 'host' or 'guest' at the table.

Greeting others in a friendly manner. Praising the bidding and/or play of the opponents. 

Having two clearly completed convention cards readily available to the opponents (This one is a regulation, not just a nicety). 

The following list are some examples of behaviour which will not be tolerated:

Badgering, rudeness, insinuations, intimidation, profanity, threats, or violence.

Negative comments concerning opponents' or partner's play or bidding.

Constant and gratuitous lessons and analyses at the table.

Loud and disruptive arguing with a director's ruling.

Liams Hints Of WIsdom ...............

♠ Liam, who taught many of us to play bridge will share some hints and tips here which he hopes you will enjoy  

A True rarity A bid you so seldom see that you’ve forgotten you may have read about it ages ago. 5NT is the creature; not the asking for Kings application and not the Grand Slam Force (bid 7 if you have two of the top 3 honours) aka Josephine. Imagine you asked P for Aces with 4NT and to your dismay he/she failed to give you what was needed. Now you are stuck in playing 5NT with two top losers but how do you get there? Bidding it would be a King ask which you can’t do and you know the opps are licking their lips, realising that a wheel has come off. Here’s a hand from last night: N held AKQ105, AKQ8, AJ95, void S held 8, J3, KQ842, KJ843 and it went 2C – 3D 3S – 4C 4NT 5C ?? The solution was at hand: a bid of the unbid major requires P to go 5NT, so 5H 5NT Pass. Say what you like about the auction but the participants had the thrill of a once in a lifetime opportunity to use a true rarity.

Happy 100th Birthday

♠   ♣ Congratulations to Sylvia who celebrated a milestone birthday at Moseley Bridge Club.  Sylvia who turned 100 years old this year was joined by fellow bridge players to mark the momentous occasion. 

Sylvia’s son made a wonderful biographical speech about his mother and her full and varied life as a scientist, and as a teacher, and raising her family.  And then she found bridge ………..  and the rest, as we say, is history.

A fun evening was had by all – Happy 100th Birthday Sylvia.♠   ♣
