| Bridge Bulletin |
It's another lovely morning ... at least, it is until you get outside, when you discover that even at 11 am, it's still below freezing out there! Apparently Oxfordshire is the coldest spot in the country today. What have we done to offend the weather gods?
Still, here's your Bulletin, nice and early this week, maybe even in time to read it with your morning coffee. Many thanks to James, who has picked out four hands featuring instructive points about bidding and play at pairs, and as usual has managed to be entertaining as well! And congratulations to this week's winning pair, Holly and Zahir, with an excellent score of over 65%, followed by the Sheppards in second place and Irene and Robert in third.
Next week will be our first F2F evening of the year at Maison Francaise, so do come along to wish all your friends a rather belated Happy New Year. Please remember though that you still need to book (and pay for!) a ticket in advance, using our BookWhen system. There will be a host but, as always, we do need to make sure there will also be enough tables to run a viable session.
All best regards as always -

| Bridge in 2023 |
When your committee met recently, we decided to carry on for the time being with our current system of approximately half face-to-face and half online on RealBridge. Do please attend as many of these events as you can - we need your support!
In January, Maison Francaise are unable to offer us our usual evenings, so we will have just one face-to-face event, on the fifth Monday, 30th. The other four Mondays will be on RealBridge.
In February we will return to second and fourth Mondays (13th and 27th) at Maison Francaise, first and third (6th and 20th) on RealBridge.
In March we will play face-to-face at Maison Francaise on the second and third Mondays (13th and 20th), first and fourth Mondays (6th and 27th) on RealBridge.
