11 December 2025 -Trull Bridge Group

Well done to Alex & Jackie, top today on 67.59%, and to Carmen & Bill, second only a little way behind on 65.87%.   It was a shame we had to omit the final round, at it meant that one set of Boards was played only twice.  If we use this movement again, I'll try to make sure that we manage to get all rounds played.   Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.   Next session: 8 January.

Congratulations to Anne (Bird) & Ann, winners today N/S with 59.38%, just pipping Angela & Anne (Baker), while Liz & Belinda were comfortable winners E/W.   The fixed Board was Board 3, intended to be played by North in 3NT, making probably ten tricks if the correct line is found, otherwise only about seven tricks.  So much for my intentions!   No partnership bid game, and the hand was uniformly played by South, not North.  But ten tricks were at least made, on a couple of occasions.  Next session (by popular demand): 19 December.   There will also be a session on 2 January, as there seemed to be enough players to make it worthwhile.
