  • Your Editor Asked Me to Pen a Few Words About the Seniors Congress
    Your editor asked me to pen a few words about the Seniors Congress at elegant Eastbourne, but time has rolled on through the Riviera Congress at touristy Torquay and the annual week long jamboree that is the EBU Congress in bizarre Brighton. (Please bear in mind that I am not a sun seeker and Gayle and I treat these trips as part of our holidays, but taken in small doses.) We have been playing at these events for some years, and have built up a goodly number of friends and / or teammates with whom it is fun to play, dine and drink. As to the bridge, it really is another world away from club bridge, despite there being the usual 52 cards. Would you double this hand for a Spade lead? North 86 AK7 AJT85 QJ8 AQT4 73 T54 Q963 Q762 94 64 KT732 KJ952 J82 K3 A95 North /South have 27 points – bid to 3NT , but West doubled the contract for a Spade lead. How was West able to tell East that he wanted a Spade lead? West did this because their system allowed them to use a double to call for a lead of the last suit bid by North/South. This happened to be Spades! So how do you make 3NT*, for a top or are you 1 down for a bottom. What’s the fun if we get beaten up like the above hand? We get the chance to play against top players, including England’s World and European champion ladies, and European champion Seniors men, together with a host of other professionals who earn their living from bridge.

  • England Are European Champions, Win Gold at Bridge Competition in Budapest
    THE ENGLISH BRIDGE UNION Broadfields, Bicester Road Aylesbury, Bucks, HP19 8AZ Telephone 01296 317200 25th June 2016 PRESS RELEASE For immediate release England are European Champions, win Gold at bridge competition in Budapest As the battle for European glory continues on the football pitches of France, England's Women's bridge team have ensured that Britain will have at least one European Championship winning side this summer. England's Women's bridge team have won gold at the 53rd European Team Championships which have concluded today in Budapest. The team was in second or third place for most of the seven day event, but moved in to the gold medal position in the penultimate round of matches, and beat second placed Poland in the final match to confirm their place atop the table. This is the sixth consecutive World or European event at which the England Women's team has won a medal making them one of the most successful British international teams in any sport in recent years. The team was: Heather Dhondy & Nevena Senior; Sally Brock & Nicola Smith; Fiona Brown & Catherine Draper; non-playing-captain: Derek Patterson; Coach: David Burn. England's Open team1 and Senior team2 were less successful in their competitions, with both sides disappointingly finishing in 10th place. Teams from Wales and Scotland also took part, but none finished in the top 10. 37 countries participated in the Open competition, 24 in the Seniors' competition and 23 in the Women's competition. The event was run by the European Bridge League - www.eurobridge.org - and Brexit won't affect British participation in the 2018 event.
