| A Second Look at Thursday 7/23 |
Continuing our series of looking back at some interesting hands from our Thursday games, Joe gives us some practical examples of how to select an opening lead in his article.
More contracts are made and/or lost because of the opening lead. The opening lead is considered the most crucial defensive play, and also considered one of the most difficult and opaque skills to acquire.
Whether or not you played these hands, Joe's article is a good dive into a very difficult subject and well worth your time.
We play again today Thursday 8/6, and we hope you can join us.

| Home-Made Pie Night, Wednesday 8/12 |
You have to see it to believe it! After you see it, then smell it. Lastly, left with no other options, taste it. AH, what an experience. (Did I mention these are all homemade pies?)
See Pie
Eat Pie
Play Bridge
Repeat
Oh yes you can may.

| Thursday Game Survey Results |
A survey of the Thursday game participants was taken at the July 2nd game.
Feedback from the survey was generally positive. Based on this feedback, the NKBC Board of Directors has asked for a plan for continuing the Thursday games through Year End 2026.
A summary of the views expressed by game participants is given in the attached document: 4EsurveyResults.pdf. If you have questions about this document, please contact Cordell.
Details to follow; stay tuned.

| NEW Thursday Game |

Our Thursday games have been a great success. The next Thursday game is August 6.
Greg will give a short talk about 'defensive card play' at 10:30 before our next game.
Please plan to join us. If you can, please let Howard or Cordell know you'd like to play. Here's the remaining schedule:
| Thursday August 6 @11:00 |
| Thursday August 27 @11:00 |
We start at 11:00 and finish before 3:00, and play about 18-22 hands. The cost is just $2. The game is perfect for beginning players and mentoring pairs.
We play a slower paced game on Thursdays. It's a great way to learn. We have a lot of fun and talk about the hands as we play them.
These games award ACBL masterpoints and are configured as a "4-Is-Enough" game. Anyone may play, but players with more than 1000 masterpoints must partner with someone who holds less than 500.
Please join us.
