Royston (Herts) Bridge Club

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.

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.

Congratulations to Malcolm & Paul, who came first this week by a convincing margin, with a score of 68%.

Surprisingly, they were also the only pair to bid 7NT on board 9, with all 13 tricks laydown as the cards lie. Three other pairs settled for the less ambitious slam of 6♥. Less surprisingly, no-one bid the minor suit slam on board 2, in fact only one pair bid to game, in an unlikely 3NT.

And thanks to everyone who turned up, for giving disaster recovery scoring with BriAn a try. Back to Bridgemates next week, and the Children in Need SIMS event, for which table money will be increased to £7.
