It seems a long time since I sat in front of
The laptop worrying about what I could say.

Nothing changes!

On the personal front we have booked a holiday in Malta for next month.

I am being very cowardly and am going to be out of the country for my birthday.

Nuff said.
The relationship between education and the age-old card game of bridge has long been limited to bridge clubs at public schools, where it comes slightly below chess in the social hierarchy.
But this looks set to change with the development of a simplified version enabling primary pupils to use the game in the classroom.

One teacher is using mini bridge to improve the mathematical skills in his primary school who took up bridge four years ago, said:
“I enjoy the game and thought I’d start up a club at school. There are sports and music clubs already and I thought this would be something a bit different.

Already between 100 and 200 schools have taken up mini bridge.

At last something is being done to encourage next generations into the game.
Information about support from the EBU can be found on their website.

One of the teachers involved is going to take pupils to the House of Lords to meet the all party bridge group.
