NOVEMBER/DECEMBER BRIDGE LETTER   2010

Hey ho Christmas time is here once more, to my delight!!!
I really love buying and wrapping presents, in fact my better half has threatened to curtail  my shopping expeditions how he is going to do this is unclear  so watch this space for further developments.

So to Bridge

Since our fateful trip to South Wales  and our delightful visits to Llanelli and Mumbles Clubs we have not seen any action at all as we arrived back in Birmingham only to be struck down by various illnesses.

We have barely made it to the shops let alone to venture to West Midlands for an evening’s entertainment.

It has been suggested somewhat unkindly that perhaps Penclawdd is a hotbed of infection and we were lucky to escape with our lives.
All I know is that my next holiday will be to a warmer climate!!

This year there was tremendous response to the Children in Need Simultaneous Pairs.18,000 bridge players competed at 400 bridge clubs and raised a staggering £60,000 for the charity.

The play was spread over five days with a different deal for each day.  The internet was used to score the events and compare the results.

Congratulations to Ron Quainton and Peter Russell of Thame bridge club who had the highest score of the week.

Anyone looking for ‘bridge’gifts for Christmas would do well to look at the Chess and Bridge catalogue2011.

There are some really pretty playing cards. I had not seen the Cadbury pack before, very poignant for those of us who live in Birmingham.
