The July 2017 ABF Newsletter contains a wealth of information and articles for the interested and competitive bridge player. My personal favourites were:
- Declarer play problems on page 20 - I managed one out of three...
- Counting challenge on page 27 - I did a little better here
- The Smile Sweetly After Disaster convention on page 29 - very useful for my partners...
And Cath Whiddon noticed some local news in the Newsletter - in the results of the Victor Muntz Restricted Swiss Pairs in Melbourne in June was "3rd Kelly Barber - David Owen (Peninsula/Waverley)". Congratulations Kelly!
