May Day! May Day! Carl Wikstrom directed this game!

We had a lesson on Jacoby 2NT and splinters and when to use them today at 11:00.  We had 10.5 tables in the sanctioned game that started a few minutes late.

We had two new members Kenneth Gminski and Jude McLean who finished second EW with 60.84%, Very nice for C strat players. Our C strat players did quite well today as Nancy Barron and MaryEllen Dunbar finished first NS with 62.05%.  Yours truly was carried into first EW by Joyce Sweeny with 65.59%.  Second Place NS went to Linda McCabe and Pat Betts with an even 60.00%.  Congrats to all and thank you for playing with us in North Hampton! Skip should be back next week.  See you then!

CORRECTED on 3 MAY FOR Wednesday 30 April 2025 - Fun bridge game

Wednesday 30 April 2025 Fun Bridge!  Wow! What weather- this is scary 82 deg weather in April! Good thing tomorrow is May Day!  What is it going to be like in August? and down the line - August 2050? 

Today we had a 6 and a half table Mitchell movement where every E-W pair played 20 hands and every NS pair played 24 hands! So the sit out was 4 hands long!  The algorithm in ACBL adjusts the scores so that the scores NS and EW are comparable.  We had several 2 club openers! The top NS team were Janet and Jill with a 62%, followed by Rick and Penny then Sid and Bobbie!  The top EW team were Hildy and Paul with another 62% followed by Mary Lynn and Claire and Jack and Bill!  You all did amazingly! We had a couple of unbid slams and even bid slams - Boards 9, 12, 19,  23, and 24!  This must be left over from the slam bidding lesson!

Thank you all for coming to beautiful Centennial Hall on a lovely day like this! See you next week!

Sorry I made a mistake in the first submission.  One score can move everyone around!
