Wednesday 23 October 2024 - North Hampton Fun game

23 October 2024 A gorgeous Indian Summer Day! We opened the windows and had a very uneventful 5 round Mitchell with 5 hands a round and NO SIT OUT ! We listened to some eerie piano music played by a very good young pianist! Today we had 4 people come in without partners and so we were able to fill a whole table. Thank you for coming even without your partners! It makes it more fun for all of us. You all played very well on this lovely day! Sadly we said goodby to the Mahoney's - they are going to Florida for the winter! We will welcome them back in the Spring! Bon Voyage! Speaking of Bon Voyage Susanne is going to Italy for a couple of weeks. Ciao!

In first place North South were the team of Sulger and Dickenson with a breath taking 66% followed by Bobbi and Sid! In East/west our winners were Cynthia and Marion with a 59.5% followed by Susanne and Paul and Pat and Sherry! Congratulations to you all? O/A stands for Overall.

Thank you ALL for coming to North Hampton Bridge club and see you next week!

Our Advanced Beginner lesson was about bidding a splinter instead of Jacoby 2NT when you have a singleton in an outside suit, opening points and 4 card support. The beginner's lesson was about overcalls and responding to your partner after an overcall. Next week we will continue the lesson on overcalls in beginners and a general review in Advanced Beginners.

We had four full tables in the Pupil game so we played 7 rounds of 3 to avoid sharing boards among tables. Jean and Elizabeth were the winners with 57,41% Coming in at a tie for second were Chirstopher K-Melissa V. and John S-Bob Cully both with 56,67%!

Thank you all for playing the extra three boards so we didn't need to share. See you next week!!

Ooops!! As I was getting the report together, I saw an alert for a suspicious board which was board 18. It had been recorded as NS bidding and making 4 Hearts, but that was impossible, so I changed the points to EW bidding and making 4 Hearts. That changed our results. The updated results are listed below. John S and Bob C are no longer tied for second and are now in 4th. Christopher and Melissa are now in second place alone and Jane G and Susan Scott are in third!

Sorry about that!!
