May/June   Bridge Letter 2010  

Hello again!   Can’t believe its time for another letter.
Unfortunately no stories from foreign parts as we have been in Birmingham for the last few weeks.
However there was one mildly interesting anecdote.   I am thinking of starting a competition for the most bizarre question ever put across a bridge table.   At the moment I think I might be winning with one from our last holiday.   A very nice opponent leaned towards me and asked if she could ask me something.   Naturally I said “yes”,   she dropped her voice so the others couldn’t hear and whispered  “Have you have had your eyelids tattooed?” Anyone beat that?

EBU dates.
 The date of the Brighton Congress is now going to take place on 6th -15th August 2010.

The Autumn Congress will be held on 5th-7th November2010.   The venue is provisionally arranged for Birmingham.

The Great Northern  Pairs will take place on 2-3rd October2010 at the Hilton Hotel Leeds.  Enquiries to Stuart Davies at sd@leckhampton.com

Have just seen the advert for the Gold Coast Congress.
   Australia.    It is being held 26th February to 6th March   2011.  I spent some time in this part of the world in 2000.   The clubs there were really friendly and welcoming.   Perhaps I could wean Terry off Tenerife and persuade him to go a little further afield.  Don’t hold out much hope though as he does not  like long haul flights.
Further  information can be obtained from  Ros Wolfarth at Anders Travel on 01273 207422.

Don’t know if I’ve mentioned Ecats before.  Its an online magazine and is very interesting.   I think this site is well worth a look.  Ecatsbridgeclub
