Wednesday January 22, 2025 Some boards you shuffled yourselves! Fun game!

 Wednesday 22 January 2025 - Daybreak saw negative numbers in Fahrenheit, but 5 tables of hearty people showed up to play Bridge.  We had a visitor on his way to Bermuda- Richard ,  from Arizona who played with Jan Ebeling! On hand 3 they bid and made 6 NT.

Unfortunately,  I thought we had 6 tables and put the mats out for 6 tables.  Then when I discovered my error, I tried to run the game the old fashioned way - with Travelers - little slips that belong to each board, Unfortunately we had people playing the same people. The travelers were the half a sheet of paper.  Everybody said they did not care about the score, so we just played 9 rounds.  I will show the cards that you played, so you can see for the few hands, what you played.

We continued Play of the Hand Suit bids in advanced beginners and went over King Asking in the Beginner's lesson.  Next week, we will discuss planning the play in advanced beginners and the Gerber convention in the beginner's lesson. 

We had 4.5 tables in our Pupil game and played 9 rounds of 2 with a sit out. The Cullys were the winners (again!) with a score of 58.33% and Lyndon B and Charles M are back and came in second at 56.25%. Christopher and Melissa  were third at 54.17% and the Kingsburys came in fourth with a respectable 53.15%.

We will be doing a restart of the beginner's lesson cycle on February 11, so tell all your friends who are interested in learning the game.

Also, I want to remind you to keep March 8th clear for our "Bridge Boot Camp" here in Centennial Hall.

IMPORTANT REQUEST!  There are several forms of viruses that are making the rounds this winter. We are an elderly club and don't have the ability to fight off infections that we had when we were younger.  So, please, if you are feeling symptoms or think you may have been exposed to a virus (not just COVID, but flu, a cold, or any of the alphabet soup of viruses that have been identified) stay home and come back when you are feeling better.  Thank You for your cooperation.
