| Andrew Robson, Open Day and Bridge News |
We enjoyed another excellent day in the company of Andrew Robson on Sunday. Andrew is the bridge columnist for the Times newspaper and also runs his own bridge school. He presented two lengthy sessions on Sunday, highlighting different aspects of bidding, illustrated by asking us to bid and then play a series of hands. As ever in bridge, nothing was quite as it seemed to be! We learned how to make the best of the most unpromising looking hands, how length often ‘trumps’ (pun intended) high card points, while always remembering that bridge is a very competitive game where it’s often best to keep you opponents out of a contract. Thanks for coming along and hope not too many of our members regret not joining in.
As ever these events require a lot of hard work behind the scenes and it was a real team effort from Elise, Bob, Tim, Karen, Maggie, Mark, Terry Matthew, Gaynor and Trevor.
Thanks to EVERYONE who was involved in the Open Day. Whether you were there on the day, helped with advertising, put up a poster, helped with the street stall, made a cake, made a cup of tea or coffee, played mini bridge, whatever - THANK YOU again. We think it has been a great success and we look forward to welcoming new members in due course.
The Anglia Teams and Pivot teams have now started - great to see so many teams competing. The sign up sheet for the Swiss Teams is in the lobby - it starts on Tuesday 20th October.
The EBU has launched a new Podcast series called ‘Table Talk'. There are five full episodes to date. Go to YouTube and search for ‘English Bridge Union Table Talk’ or search ‘podcast’ from the EBU website.
