Quite a few Club members have expressed their interest in learning to play bridge. If you are interested, would you please get in touch with Jenny Pratt () detailing your availability.

Please find attached to the main article a simple exercise for Friday's workshop. You just have to say what you would bid with the hands shown after an opening by your partner and a "take-out double" by your right-hand opponent.

The next Dinner/tournament evening will be on Tuesday the 8th of January. The Club needs to know by Monday 7th January morning how many we will be for dinner, so we would be most grateful if you could let Anne and Jenny know during the course of the week if you are able to come (). We are still looking for more players!
Just a quick reminder that the next Dinner/Tournament Evening will be on Tuesday 8th January. Since both Anne and Jenny will be away until the 4th of January it will be an enormous help to them (and to the restaurant) if you could sign up as soon as possible.
