Bravo to the winners in NS, Anne R and Denis for their super result - 65%, and to the firsts in EW, Carole and Francois, for their excellent 55.5%! Ann J and Alain came 2nd in NS with 58%; Joyce and Claude 2nd in EW with 53%. Everyone had to work hard as we played 25 hands, but we had Anne's delicious "buffet campagnard" afterwards!

In addition to the results, the answers to the quiz are attached.

Tuesday's afternoon workshop was extremely well attended but Covid seems to still be around and reduced the numbers a bit.

As an example of this Blackwood can be, here's an example that Jenny played on BBO recently:

A V X 8 2	R 3	1 Spade	2 Hearts
A 6 4	R D 8 5 3	3 Hearts	4 Hearts
A D V 8 5	R 9 3	4 NT	5 Clubs (my partner and I play: 1 or 4, not 0 or 3 - the opposite to what I was teaching)
----	V 6 5	5 Diamonds	5 Spades (Do you have the Queen of Hearts; Yes, and also the King of Spades)
			6 Diamonds     6NT (Do you have the King of Diamonds? Yes)
			7 Hearts!        Our two hands went perfectly together!

 

The date of our April tournament should be confirmed soon, and Jenny would organise another workshop if there was enough demand. Let her know what theme you'd like.
