Bridge News Letter July / August 2010

www.bridgeevening.com

Back again after a gap, so hello to everyone.  We had difficulties when we changed the websites and it took a while to get going again. 

Of course it’s now the silly season when news is scarce but even so I can’t say I’m looking forward to the shortening days of Autumn.

We have been having a sabbatical from club bridge for various reasons.

Some of our time has been taken up with planning a wedding,  which took place recently.  All went well and I am off on a girlie cruise to unwind.

The Bennett Bridge Murder

Sadly the Bennett bridge murder of the twenties, when a woman  was cleared by a bridge playing judge of the killing of her husband for failing to make 4 spades, has been trumped by a UK murder case.

The stormy relationship of Stephen and Carole Green of Lytham St Annes included constant criticism of her bridge playing.

It is alleged that this husband murdered his wife.

Bridge.gif is a site with images for bridge.

Very useful if you are writing news letters and the like.

I am hoping to persuade one of my daughters to help me use this site.
Definitely!

Qdgames.com is a site I found while hunting for bridge snippets.  There are lots of online games  using such characters as Ben 10.  This might well mean an easier time when I am babysitting the grandchildren.
