NORTH HAMPTON BRIDGE CLUB: 09/29/26

Tuesday September 29 2026

We had 5.5 tables in our lessons and 5.5 tables in the newcomer game, although some left early due to priors commitments, forcing several no plays. But I think most people enjoyed it. OUr lesson was about the double finesse and ways to finesse with the AKJ in different hands.

Next week, we will shift over to defense and talk about opening leads. We gad three ineligible pairs due to early exits and more than 20 MPs. The winners were Bob E and Jean L with 64.36%! Second place went to Betty and Wynne with 60.42% and the Kingsburys finished third with 58.63%

See you next week!---Carl
