Tuesday 4 March 2025

We discussed forcing 1NT response for 2/1 in advanced beginners and responses to 1NT open with flat hands in beginners class.  Next week we will go further with forcing 1NT responses in advanced beginners and transfers and Stayman in beginners.

 We had 6.5 tables in our pupil game and welcomed back 2 players after several years(Emily and Christine) and three brand new players! (Sally, Linda, and Pauline)  Welcome! It was a great time and I am excited to have new players coming to bridge lessons!  We look forward to seeing them next week!

Gerri and Kathy won the day with a very nice 66.9%!  The Kingsburys were second with 63.8% and the Cullys were 3rd with 56.88% .  I hope everyone had fun! I know I sure did.  See you Saturday if you are coming to the boot camp or next week if you aren't.  ----Carl

 

 

Another Bridge Boot Camp is happening THIS SATURDAY 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
