It may have been beach weather lately but keen players have
been coming regularly to the bridge club where the play has been
equally “hot”.

In this issue, we celebrate many “firsts” like :

a new arrival in Charlotte and Tyrel’s household
a new club frontage
Richard’s first Friday game since moving to Te Aroha
a 7NT “first” for one of our players

There’s also what all successful bridge partnerships should have (and nothing to do with the cards!)

A player climbing up the grades

Wisdom of Solomon

and plenty more...

The last newsletter for 2024...

and it’s a pictorial feast of the club’s Christmas Party and Prize-Giving.

There’s even a few pictures of others present too.

Have you heard of “Christmas Bells”? Well, take a look at the “Christmas Bales”!

and there’s a club player in an unusual pose. All that can be seen is his feet! Why?

“The Wisdom of Solomon” does take on a very “unChristmasy” theme which should
reflect goodwill to all players....not to the declarer, this time, alas!

So, do enjoy....and compliments of the season to all

There’s plenty this time on the Cambridge Sixes....with local players coming as Ukrainians, coming from France and from the land of the haggis!

There’s some choice advice on Alan on how not to deal with leads out of turn.....
