NOVEMBER/DECEMBER BRIDGE LETTER 2010
www.BridgeEvening.com
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.

Bridge News Letter August 2010
Bridge News Letter 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.

The Brighton Congress 2010

Of course August does mean Brighton is once more the focus for many bridge players.
This years Pairs Championship was won by a Welsh pair.
Tim Rees and Filip Kurbalija.

Well Done!

Players at a one day event in East Wales were privileged to witness the return after twenty years of David McAndrew who returns to the game after a break of twenty years.
Happily his team, captained by David Birt of Cardiff won the event.

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.
