I can’t say I’m too pleased at the way my life seems to be speeding along.
I cannot believe I I have survived this long.
Bridge news is very thin on the ground as Christmas celebrations seem to have got in the way. 
We didn’t even get one game in, so are looking forward to our bridge fest in  Tenerife next
month.

The EBU has some advice for those wanting to learn the game which I pass on to our British readers.

We also strongly recommend that you start to learn with an EBU qualified teacher.

Each teacher has been on courses run by the EBU and all deliver top class
course materials, supplied by the EBU.

Your teacher will not only get you started playing bridge. This will also  provide framework upon which you can progress from the relaxed atmosphere of the classroom through to enjoying your new-found skills in a friendly playing environment.

A new contest is held each month, and presents eight bridge problems in bidding and play. After the contest deadline, the problems are scored by a director and are discussed by an expert panel in The Bridge World magazine.
