Today we had a 6 Table Howell movement with 3 boards around where everyone played all 24 hands and four couples missed playing each other.  You all played well!  We welcome back Christine and Emily after a long absence, and welcome a new player Barbara McAdoo, who is taking the lessons on Tuesday with Carl.  Our team that came in first were Hildy and Paul with 66.96%, followed closely by Claire and Mary Lynn with a 63.5%, then  Bobbi and Sid, with 61.67% and Pat and Sherry with a 57.33%!  Congratulations are in order to all of you!  It was sunny with white fluffy clouds the whole day and not cold!  FINALLY! No breezes and no overshoots in temperature!

See you next week when we have 3 people who could not make it today showing up.  Perhaps 7 tables?  Fingers Crossed!  We still miss all of you from Exeter!

We started learning about 2/1 Game Force in advanced beginners today.  In beginners, we discussed responding to an open of a major at the 1 level.  Next week we will continue learning about 2/1 in advanced beginners and discuss the No trump opening and responses with a flat hand in beginners.

We had six full tables in our pupil game today, including the playing director. Kathy H and Gerri C came in first with 63.33% while John Richards came in second with 60.56% despite being saddled with playing with the director. Melissa V and Christopher K came in third with 53.89%.  I had a great time today and look forward to next week!  Hope to see you then.  Happy Birthday, Martha!  ----Carl
