We had two and a half tables at the Advanced Beginners' lesson where we discussed opening leads against suits and NT.  We had 5.5 tables at the beginner's lesson where we discussed opening one of a suit and responding to opening one of a suit.  One pair had to leave, so we had 5 full tables in our pupil game.

The Cullys were the winners with a huge 68.06%!  Second place went to Wynne and Betty with a very nice 56.25%.  Close behind in third was the John Safford and Martha R pair with 54.86%.  I will be here next week, but Suzanne will be taking the beginners class on the day after Labor Day as I am off to play in a regional for that week.

This Saturday will be the "Boot Camp" of 27 boards to discuss or until 4 PM, whichever comes first.  It starts at 10AM and has a fee of $15.  No need to sign up in advance, just show up with $15 and you can participate.

If you want to spend a day talking about, and hopefully learning about, bidding and play of bridge hands, come to the third Bridge Boot Camp next Saturday, August 17 at Centennial Hall.  It begins at 10 AM and goes until 4PM, or until 27 hands have been discussed.  The fee is $15 and bring your lunch as we will have a short break for lunch around Noon. A printed summary of my analysis of the hands will be provided at the end of the session.  Be sure to remind me, as I might forget to pass it out. (I did at the first one.)  See you there!  ---Carl
