BRIDGE LETTER

January  2011

Well we have taken the plunge and booked our annual holiday in Tenerife.

We are trying a new hotel/apartment, it had very good reviews so are hoping it meets the standard of our previous stays.

I am so looking forward to going to the Italian Club on Mondays.  It is very cosmopolitan and as usual in a new club it is difficult to work out the table numbering.

Look how many people get lost in a straight forward Mitchell in a club they have been attending for thirty years.

There did not seem to be a linear move so we all had to go from table to table and look at the table card to see if our number was there for the pertinent round.

This obviously led to chaos with people already seated shouting their opponents numbers and so on. As there were shouts in Italian, French English and Norwegian between  rounds,

I think the true description would be melee!

One woman asked me how to find her table and I answered politely enough I thought, telling her what we all had to do and with that she swept out, poor hubby in her wake and ruined the afternoon for the scorer.

Hey Ho!!

Did anyone catch the Home Internationals for the Camrose Trophy?  Matches were shown live on
www.bridgebase.com

They were held in Dublin with Wales providing a second team so that 3 matches could be played simultaneously.

Recently the TGR’s Club in London hosted what has become the biggest money event to be held in Britain.
Last year the prize money amounted to
£38,000.

This year not surprisingly a large entry has increased to more than 130 pairs.

Entries are from all over the world, Norway,  Sweden,  France,  Poland as well as the home countries.
