| ROYSTON BRIDGE CLUB - Competitive yet Friendly |
Our ♣ sparkles like a ♦, has a big ♥ and ♠♠♠ of bonhomie, boosted by beverage, biscuits, and banter before bridge begins.
Sessions held every Thursday at 7.00pm at the Coombes Community Centre, Burns Road, Royston.
The club has electronic scoring and computer-dealt hands so results and deals are available straight away.
Visitors are always welcome but need to come with a partner. If you are new to the area, use Find a Partner (Public) and the club will make every effort to provide a suitable partner for you.

| Bridge Dates |
This Thursday, 5th November, it's scoring with BriAn on a members' phone at each table, to check out disaster recovery — it's never happened so far, but the club laptop or Bridgemate server could let us down at short notice one of these days. Yes, we know that BriAn works in principle (plenty of clubs use it successfully), that's not the issue. But let's see if anything unexpected crops up anyway. We'll be playing a slightly shorter movement on the night to allow for the inevitable teething trouble for those who have never used or scored with BriAn before. Should be interesting.
Next Thursday, 12th November, it's the turn of the club's traditional ECATS SIMS Children in Need event, a simultaneous pairs event played at clubs throughout the UK and beyond. Table money for the event will be raised to £7, to allow for a significant amount of money to be raised for the charity after club expenses have been deducted. Should be fun.
And remember, try to bring the right money, please.

| Bridge 29th October |
Congratulations to Colin & Paul, who came first this week with a score of 58%.
All six pairs bid the laydown slam on board 16 in ♦ or NT, and two pairs bid the grand slam — well judged. But at MPs, it's also about which slam to bid. 7NT outscores 7♦ for an outright top on the board, whereas a more cautious 6♦ gets an unlikely joint bottom, scoring just 1 match point.
