Enjoy.

Building a partnership By Brent Manley I once played in a strong teams event at a regional with my wife, Donna, who remains my favorite partner. We worked hard on our partnership and rarely made mistakes with our agreements. At one point, we faced a team of pros with thousands more masterpoints than we had. We won because the pair we faced, not regular partners, missed a slam when one of them couldn’t remember whether they played a convention that would have helped them out. They were way better than we were in skill and experience, but we won because our teammates at the other table, regular partners with the same experience level we had, got to the slam. I’ve seen it many times: Lesser players with a good partnership defeat a couple of experts unfamiliar with each other. If one of you has the time and inclination, Champs to breakfast every Saturday and Sunday If you have a chance to build a partnership start a system notebook with your agreements and and use them to practice our system.

Mallett - Gary Mallett, N Martinsville WV 68.00 • If your playing site has different routes through it, be sure that signs direct wheelchair users to the most accessible ways around the facility. People who walk with a cane or crutches also need to know the easiest way to get around a place, but stairs may be easier for them than a ramp. • If the nearest public restroom is not accessible or is located on an inaccessible floor, allow the person in a wheelchair to use a private or employee restroom that is accessible. • People who use canes or crutches need their arms to balance themselves, so never grab them. • Mobility-impaired people may lean on a door for support as they open it. Pushing them or quickly opening the door may cause them to fall. Even pulling out or pushing in a chair may present a problem. Always ask before offering help. • These days, more and more of our seniors are having mobility issues. Awareness can go a long way to ensure they have an enjoyable, stress-free experience. • I have learned through my own experience with this, and hope this gentle reminder helps others.
