In this section we want to help our members who, see other members and other players and/or read articles that refer to the many different conventions that have now flooded our game. Some just like stayman, are such a useful convention, it is a wonder how we ever coped without them. On the other hand there are other conventions that only occur once every Preston Guild and are so complex that it is no wonder that there are misunderstandings when they occur.
Here we will try to explain the most useful and most popular ones.
If there are any conventions you and your partner would like to learn or know more about. Why not go to the information section on the Left Hand Side. Scroll Down to 'Contact Us' and fill in the details and we can include these as a basis for future articles.
