We discussed handling the opponents as declarer in Adv Beginners and began a new cycle in beginners lessons with evaluating the hand and opening one of a suit.  Next week we will look at the squeeze play and the end play as declarer in Advanced Beginners and responses to openers bids in Beginners class.

The winners today were the Cullys with 64.58%!  Second place went to Wynne G and Betty L with 59.03% and third place went to Cathy V and Dianne Luby with a very nice 56.94%.  We welcome a new member Tricia Higgins who is brand new to bridge, but is picking it up quickly!  Welcome Tricia!!

See you all again next week! ---Carl 

Another Bridge Boot Camp coming March 8, 2025

What it will be like:

    We will discuss up to 27 randomly dealt boards, one at a time.  Attendees will bid and play the same hand, followed by discussion of how I would have bid  and played the hand and why. A hard copy of the hands and my discussion of the bid and play will be provided at the end of the camp.  I will have enough sets of cards to handle up to 5 tables.  If needed, due to extra players that don't fill out a table, some players will need to rotate as observers, but no one will need to do so for more than a few of the hands.  That will only happen if we have one or two extra because I will fill out the table if we have three extra.

It will start at 10 AM and continue until 4 PM or until 27 boards have been discussed, whichever comes first.  There will be a 15 minute break for lunch at about noon, but no lunch will be available, so bring your own.  

The fee will be $15/person, which is divided between Centennial Hall, North Hampton DBC, and me.

If you have any questions, email me at cvwikstrom@gmail.com.  Hope to see you there!  ---Carl
