We had 3 tables in the Adv Beginners lesson and 8 tables +1 in the beginners lesson. WOW!!

We started the series on defense in Advanced Beginners and discussed Reverses in the beginners lesson.  Next week we will cover more on defense in Adv Beginners and attack competitive bidding in Beginners.

We had 8 full tables in the pupil game as one person did not stay for the game.  That is a new record for our pupil game!  The big winners today were Mary Lynn and Claire who bid and made 3 of the possible 7 slams today for a 66,27%. Crazy Hands!! Second place went to Jan and Dianne with 60.71%. 

I had a great time, even though I hardly got a chance to sit down with 8 tables worth of questions during the bidding of these crazy hands! I look forward to seeing all of you next time!  I know a couple of you are away next week, so I will see you when you get back.  Have a great week! ---Carl

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!
