Bridge in the Glaven Caring
Tuesdays from 6pm to 8pm
Bridge news - seven weeks in!
Experienced players have helped to coach four beginners who had never played bridge before. The gentle encouragement and eager learning have had to be seen to be believed.
This week we only had three tables, other weeks four but capacity for five.
The hot water is quickly ready for tea or coffee, with cold drinks also on offer.
On Tuesday the players partnered up by mutual consent, Angela having prepared the cards in advance so that each table had exactly the same hands to play. She was ever present to offer assistance or encouragement if required. Once each table had bid and played the round, Angela led the discussion finding out how each table had bid and how contracts were arrived at, finding out what card was led before dummy laid out their hand, then whether the contracts were made/lost or even excess tricks won. Several rounds were played with increasing interest/difficulty including my favourite round where at each table all four players bid “pass” as not one had been dealt sufficient points to open.
THANK YOU Angela.
Next week, thoughts are moving towards scoring, watch this space……
The Glaven Caring Charity is benefitting from all the donations given by the players, many thanks to them. If you are interested, please email [email protected]
