Wednesday 28 August 2024! last game before Labor Day!  Happy Labor Day everyone!

Hello All!  Today we had a 88 deg Plus day on the last Wednesday in August.  We had 5 full tables and played a Howell movement where every pair played every other pair.  We voted to play 18 hands rather than the 27 which was getting us out after 4 pm.  Today we got out a few minutes before 3.  Every body did very well, but our First place team was Pat and Sherry, followed by Bill and Jack, and a tie for 3rd place with Sid, Bobbie,  Audrey and Carolyn!

Marion brought a person new to North Hampton - Jim Nay from Exeter.  He played with John Burnap and did pretty well.  We hope he comes again and brings a couple of his friends!

See you in September (there's a song with that name?)

We had a small turnout today for both the Advanced beginner and Beginner sessions.  Only 5 people for the adv beginner lesson and only 3 tables for the beginner pupil game.  In the Advanced beginner lesson we introduced bidding in the balancing seat.  In the beginner lesson. we discussed rebidding when looking for a major fit after an open of one of a minor.  I will be out next week, but Suzanne will be here to give a beginner lesson.  There will be NO ADVANCED BEGINNER LESSON NEXT WEEK.  I will be back the following week.

We had only three tables in a Howell Movement which left us with a final round where all three tables had to share the same set of three boards.  Thank all of you for bearing with us.

Bill S and Phil S won today with a nice 60%  and John B and Colette S came in second with 55%.  See you in two weeks!  ---Carl
