SUSSEX COUNTY CONTRACT BRIDGE ASSOCIATION 2016-17 YEARBOOK
Your slam is assured if the Heart Finesse works - but can you increase your odds of success? see back cover for answer.
Dear All Another year passes and with it unfortunately, one of our Sussex greats… Alan Jeffrey passed away earlier this year aged 101. He will be greatly missed, especially by his friends at Worthing where he was President. It was very good to see the Loughborough Junior teach in organised by Dave & Jill Armstrong once again attended by more Sussex Juniors than any other county. English Bridge Education have decided they cannot run it this year, but I am delighted to be able to announce that Sussex will be offering an alternative event in conjunction with Surrey and Kent. Keep an eye on the website for more details. Since last year we have held two very successful festivals for Juniors resulting in the formation of a Junior Section at the Avenue and a trip to the Palace of Westminster to play the Lords at MiniBridge I’d like to offer my congratulations to Ollie Powell and was pleased to award him Sussex Best Junior last year for his help in coaching these youngsters every week. I’d like to be able to offer festivals at other clubs around the County as I really think they work and I would love to get involved with any club that would wish to set up a Junior Section. Also on the youngsters - Congratulations also to Stephen Kennedy and his partner Michael Alishaw who topped the National Pairs qualifiers. At this point I would like to thank all my back room colleagues who work tirelessly in keeping the County going and keep you all playing bridge - Martin Pool our president, Mervyn Wotton our webmaster, Hazel Beveridge our membership secretary, Dick Wheeler our secretary and Gerry Stanford. But in particular to David Galpin our Treasurer, who is hanging up his abacus after 14 years diligent service. His role will be taken up by John Hardy and I’d like to welcome him and our other new recruit, Ros Wolfarth who has recently taken on the role of Tournament Manager and will now become my vice chairman. In conclusion, I’d like you all to remember that a lot of work is put in to enable you to play the great game of bridge….Let’s all try and enjoy it, have a good time and respect our opponents and even our partner!

RHO cannot lead hearts so will probably lead a trump. Win in hand play a club to the Ace, discard your last club on the Ace of Diamonds, Ruff a club High. If the suit has broken, cross to the Jack of trumps Ruff another club High, Draw trumps and cross to the Ace of Hearts. Your established clubs take care of your Heart losers. If it turns out that clubs were 4-1 you still have the heart finesse to fall back on.
