How often do you pick up a one loser hand?

On Monday there was such a hand for East and nearly every pair ended up in 6D and no-one made it.  Houdini might have done so! East has to play two rounds of clubs and then ruff with the 7 (giving you the 12th trick!). But then the question is how to return to your hand if the AH has already been played.

The workshop was well-attended - read more about it  HERE

8 teams participated in the Members Only Teams Day and it was a very enjoyable day directed by the most affable and able Colin Mitchell. The joint winners were the Giles team with Trish Giles, Anita Kite, Pat Cummings and Verl Lawrence and the Whiddon team with Cath Whiddon, Anne Small, Chris Duggin and Jocelyn Bertram. Well done all!

A few teams from Peninsula played in the GNOT metropolitan final this weekend at the NSWBA. The best local team were Lynn Baker, Yvonne Perkins, Lori Neville and Jeanette Weaver. They did well on both days and were 11th overall. Lyn Smith, Cath Whiddon, Jocelyn Bertram and David Farmer were 15th overall, and Michael and Margaret Draper, Cassandra Mitchell and Clare Filmer-Ramsay finished 18th. it was a tough couple of days in the fiery furnace with lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth. But no doubt we will all do it again next year!

A few Peninsula pairs attended the State Open Pairs final at the NSWBA this weekend. Anne Small and Cath Whiddon were the best performing Peninsula pair and qualified for the final on Sunday and ended up coming 8th which is a very good result.

The winners of this event were the Baker Team with Michael and Margaret Draper, Lynn Baker and Yvonne Perkins. The runners up were the Duignan team with Sue Riley, Ada Duignan and Rachael and Maurice Loomes. This was played over three weeks in an unusual format to allow for all 8 teams to play each other. Well done to all and thanks to director Colin Mitchell.
