3 September 2024 - a Lovely pleasant late summer day we had 4 full tables for our game after the lesson on No Trump openings and replies with "flat" hands (no long or short suit).

On this first Tuesday in September we had 3 hands that made small slams.  Two of them were bid once or twice.  There was a 6 Heart Hand, a 6 NT Hand and  6 Diamond Hand(#9)   The Hands were #8 making 6 spades E-W.   Hand #17 making all sorts of 6 EW, and Hand #20.  Perhaps Carl can discuss how to bid them in this blog.

Our winners today were Sue and Martha with an astounding 70%(revised to 69%), who bid one of the slams.  Followed closely by Guil and Bob and Jean and Elizabeth.  There was a lot of friendly rivalry and you all did very well.

Thank you for allowing me to run the game while your esteemed teacher was away.  Next week Advanced lessons will resume at 10 AM.  

REMEMBER  NO ONE IS allowed to play without attending one of the lessons.  This is a requirement of ACBL, Not Carl or Suzanne.  In order to give ACBL Master points in this session you need to be in a lesson for that day.

Your assistant teacher,

Suzanne.
