The Pattaya Bridge Club Library updated 24-Jan-o8

The Pattaya Bridge Club has a fairly decent library (over 150 books) and members are invited to borrow books free of charge. I usually have a few random books and magazines at the club, please let me know if you wish to borrow any particular book. If you own any books that you no longer need, we will always gladly accept donations. Thank you Carol Combes, Peter(Lux), Jo Nonemaker, John Gavens, Bob Pelletier, Ole Dam, Cheryl/Don, Richard Mullins and a few others (my memory is fading) who have indeed donated books and magazines.

Now this ‘Practice your’ series of booklets are generally pretty good. However, I do have one more which I consider to be a complete joke. It is ‘Bidding of 4441 hands’ and I really cannot find a sensible sentence in it. Borrow it by all means, but take a copy of my leaflet on the topic to see how you should really bid these hand types.

I also have loads of magazines and always bring a few along to the club.
