Merle presented Val with her Club Master certificate tonight.

Vil's comments. How did you do, my partner and I were lucky enough to be play in and make 5 Diamonds x!

Well, after play and while enjoying a glass of wine, we went through 3 of the hands we thought were interesting. However grand master Vil Gravis 's pick was a completely different hand - read on!

Grand Master Vil Gravis comments regularly on interesting X files hands - and is happy to add you to his mailing lists for the days that you are interested in

his email is Villyn@xtra.co.nz if you're interested in improving your play

Lessons, courses, videos and practice hands for beginners and improvers. 

Defending a hand in bridge is the same as declarer play in the sense that you're simply trying to win as many tricks as possible. Learn more about defence and many other topics!

Probably best to link to the home page because pretty much everything is accessible from there:

Please note that the first 2 Mondays, ie February 3 & 10, are "Draw for
Partners" so you do not need to arrange a partner for those 2 sessions. Come
along & take "pot luck" on who you might play with.
 

For those of you who remember Gwyn, she died on Saturday January 25th
