Wednesday 29 January 2025 - This morning we had a little bit of snow. We had 4 and a half table and played a 9 round Howell game with 27 boards.

The couple in first were Jan and Jane with 60.42% , in second place were Rick and Penny with a 57.64% followed by Bobbie and Sic, and Gordon and Jack. You all did very well.

Thank you for coming to bridge on Wednesday. Remember you can come without a partner and we will set you up. (a good set up hopefully)

In Advanced beginners, we discussed the importance of determining when to pull trump as declarer. In beginners. we discussed the Gerber convention used to ask for Aces and Kings in No Trump. Next week we will continue play of the Hand in Advanced Beginners and review Jacoby 2NT in beginners.

We restart the cycle on February 11 (That's just two weeks away!), so tell all of your friends who are interested in learning bridge, but were reluctant to come into the middle of the lesson cycle.

We Had 6 full tables in the pupil game including a fill-in by the instructor. Gerri C and Kathy H were the big winners with 63% and the Kingsburys came in a very repectable second with almost 62%! Our new player, Lynn Bubley( WELCOME!!), came in third, in spite of being saddled with the instuctor.

Looking forward to next week already!! ---Carl
