Dear Members

As there will be Squash League matches played over the Autumn and Winter months on some Thursday evenings, and in order to accommodate and share the use of the Function Room, our Bridge sessions will need to commence with an earlier start time of 7.15pm. This means subs paid, cards shuffled and ready to commence play at 7.15pm on the dates that follow:

24th October 2019;

14th November 2019;

5th December 2019;

23rd January 2020; 

6th February 2020; and

12th March 2020.

Please get these dates into your diaries now as we will not be sending out reminders. If you arrive late,  you will not get to play. On the above mentioned Thursday dates, play will end promptly at 9.45pm.

Regards

Angela Currie (Chair - Windsor LT Bridge Section)

Sat Nav at the ready, and for those of us who refuse to engage with such devices, the old road map still comes in handy!

What a fantastic three days we had at the Slieve Russell Hotel in County Cavan. The catering was top notch and the staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. What with extremely good weather, those of us who played tennis & golf, or enjoyed hiking, swimming etc more than made the most of it at the great facilities.

On the tennis front our star performer has to be Peter Ford who showed some subtle sleight of hand…… especially at the net!

The golfers were treated to excellent course conditions and on several occasions threatened some birdies, although these were mostly the local Canada Geese????? David Taylor, our on board alickadoo, coped bravely with such fairway conditions!

Over the course of three evenings we played great Bridge, all organised by our very own David Clement thus allowing us the opportunity to mix it up with different players and on some evenings, even playing some different formats. Thanks to David for arranging the varied Bridge play and also Brian Moore for getting the results out so quickly to everyone.

It can be faithfully reported that 28 travelled to Slieve Russell, and 28 returned. Success!

I am already looking forward to planning next year’s outing which year on year has been growing in popularity and numbers. Roll on 2020!

A revoke is established when the offender or partner leads or plays to the next trick. If attention is made before this happens then the revoke card becomes a Major penalty card ( to be explained another time)

1) If the offending player wins that trick, then one trick is transferred to the non-offending side along with only one of any subsequent tricks won by the offending side

2) If the offending side do not win the revoke trick and also no subsequent trick then there is no penalty ie no tricks transferred

However if neither of these two cases apply, one trick is transferred. If the non-offending side believe they have been insufficiently compensated, the TD has the power to adjust the score
