Oswestry Bridge Club

Every Monday and Thursday

Face to Face Bridge at the Memorial Hall

Please be seated at a table by 6.50pm so that play can commence promptly at 7.00pm!

Many thanks to Nick, Gloria and everyone who helped to support the club at the recent open day. Though, perhaps predictably, the most enthusiasm for having a go at an online game came from a 9yr old!

Ten clubs played in the EBU Autumn SIMS on Thursday. but at this point not all the clubs have uploaded their results. Provisionally the results are quite stunning with Nat and Roberts coming 1st overall (and 1st/EW in OBC), Flo and Margaret coming 2nd overall (1st NS in OBC), and Jane and Duncan coming 6th overall (2nd EW in OBC).  Three of our pairs within the top 10%!
Congratulations also to Steve and Linda for a very good performance,  Steve having been away from competitive bridge for many months.

It's not just points. Andrew Robson argues that very flat hands, 4:3:3:3, are not worth the HCP they suggest.

Bridge is an extremely enjoyable game. Courteous behaviour is an exceptionally important part of that enjoyment.

If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable manner, the director should be called immediately.
If you feel that the matter was not resolved you should make an official complaint to Pat Ramsay.
Oswestry BC will not tolerate bad behaviour.  You will be helping others as well as yourselves.
