6 and a half tables this week! ..And potentially more when a few regulars return from breaks.. Matthew's photo (below) demonstrates that there is still plenty of room for a couple more tables. No slams bid and made this week, although three pairs tried and failed for 6NT on Board 11. Richard and Margaret were the only pair to sneak 4H on board 10. Congratulations to Mary and Dick on taking the top slot this week.

Big mistake by your scorer on Board 3 this evening! Sitting West with 20 points, 8 top Hearts and 10 certain tricks and a void in Diamonds, I made the mistake of opening 2NT, Partner passed with only one point and the opposition rattled off several diamond winners. With hindsight I should have opened 2 Clubs, requiring a response from partner, or even just gone straight to 4 Hearts... No slams bid this evening, and Elaine topped the leader board for the second week running!

Congratulations to Richard and Margaret who managed to be top of the leader board for the second week running. Only one pair, the ambitious Elaine and Peter, dared to bid a slam this week. They bid 6 Spades on both Board 6 and Board 22 and were one off in both cases. Credit to Pam and Joyce (sitting N/S) for an excellent sacrifice bid of 4 Clubs (down 2) on Board 14, which gave them maximum points, as on all other tables E/W comfortably made 4 Hearts.
