Bridge Club News

Want to know how the experts would bid and play the hand you just played?

Join us on Tuesday 31 July between 5 and 6pm and find out.

We'll play some boards from the 2018 Vanderbilt finals, and then check out what the experts did - via the Videograph movies and commentary. The Vanderbilt is the major marquee US teams event founded in 1928 by the founder of our contract bridge game, Harold Stirling Vanderbilt. Check out more information at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanderbilt_Trophy and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Stirling_Vanderbilt.

When we play some of Vanderbilt Knockout Teams boards, the dummy will keep a record of the bidding and play for the whole table so we can compare both as appropriate at the time - and later for those who want to get into more detail. 

If you are interested in trying this new idea, you need to enter as a partnership by letting David Farmer (0415 715 743 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) know by midday Monday 30 July. It will probably be a small select event and group - just right for learning. Cost will be $7 (or a voucher) for members and $10 for non-members.

Stay on for the evening Swiss Pairs starting with a presession talk on "Using BBO for partnership bidding practice" at 6.40pm.
