DEAL Thirteen each, one at a time and face down. The last (52nd) card is turned face up to determine a trump suit before being taken up into dealer’s hand. OBJECT Players sitting opposite each other are partners. A rubber is won by the first side to win two games. A game is won by the first side to win 5 points, which may take one or several deals. The object of play is to win a majority of the 13 tricks, i.e., seven or more. A partnership scores 1 point for every trick it takes in excess of six (6 tricks constitute a book; those in excess are called odd tricks). Points are also scored for honours, these being the AKQ and J of trumps. A side scores 4 points for holding four honours or 2 for holding any three, but these are not credited until the hands have been played out, and must therefore be remembered. PLAY The player at dealer’s left leads to the first trick. Others in turn must follow suit if possible, otherwise may trump or renounce ad lib. The trick is won by the highest card of the suit led, or by the highest trump if any are played.

What changes have occurred over the fifty years since then! Even our official name has changed - to RSCDS Toronto Scottish Country Dance Association. But one thing which has not changed is the joy and sociability (not to mention exercise, both physi- cal and mental) that Scottish Country Dancing provides to people of all ages. We hope that this book pro- vides a record of past events, an insight into our history, happy recollections for many dancers, and, for newer danc- ers, connections to those who came before. Onward to the next fifty years! Jane E. Robinson Chair, RSCDS Toronto Association 4 5 RSCDS Toronto Association – the more recent history Although RSCDS Toronto Association is commonly called Toronto Branch by many of its members, it has in fact gone through two name changes since it was first founded in 1957 as the Toronto Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. In 1992, the United Kingdom introduced charities legislation that affected the relationship between the Society in Edinburgh and all of its branches.
