14 May 2025 Gorgeous Day out and 6 Full tables

14 May 2025  We had 6 full tables with a Mitchell movement 5 hands a round with a skip after round 3, we played 25 hands each although 30 hands were in motion.  The reason we skip is that one of the pair will hit the same cards they had before, since the people are going in one direction and the cards in the other, if we play 30 hands we will end with the people we began with, and the computer can't handle that!  We welcomed a player from the Tuesday lessons!  Welcome Chris Kalisch! Good to have you and bring some of your friends!  We also had Skip visit us and officially start the game, since Suzanne is recovering from a 5 day flu and is tired.  

Even though everybody played well and did their best, we always have a couple or 2 that hit the mark on almost every hand.  Today those couple were Marion and Cynthia in NS with a 60%!!! followed by Jill and Janet with 55.63%.  BTW we won't be seeing Jill again until the Fall, she will be enjoying her Pool!  Have fun!!  In the EW were Jack and Bill with 59.13% followed by Susanne and Paul with 54.69%!  Jack is going away for a couple of weeks!  Bon Voyage!  Maybe he'll forget how to play when he gets back and give some of us a chance!  You all did very well.

 

Thank you all for showing up on such a gorgeous day!  And thank you for your patience and helping me!

See you all next week!
