Today we are going to take a look into the world of our wonderful Masterpoint Secretary - Colleen Johns.

   1. Why did you decide to attend bridge lessons?

I had been living in Taree for two years and realised that I hadn't really made any connections in the community. I saw the bridge lessons advertised on Facebook and thought I would give them a go. I grew up playing cards, but bridge was a game I had never played before, so I thought it might be both an interesting challenge and a good way to meet people.

We now have a result for the Australia-Wide Open Pairs, the qualifier for which was held at our Club on Thursday, 27 August.

The event attracted 3,492 Pairs from 97 Clubs around Australia.

Congratulations to Terry Bodycote and Sue Eishauer who came 2nd overall.

The following people distinguished themselves in the Under 300MPs Section:

112th  Ken Bridges and Eta Rogowska

228th  Chris Mansfield and Lyn Boylan

Well done to all who participated.

If you would like to become an accomplished bridge player like the ladies pictured above, then you need to be continually expanding your knowledge.

Jacoby is an extremely important convention as it immediately shows that you and partner have game on and may also indicate slam possibilities.

Come along and join in this free session, which includes instruction notes and practice hands.

Monday, 7 September from 1:00pm till approx. 3:30pm.

Everyone welcome!

Results for the above event will be posted online after 31 August. 

The reason for this is that all clubs across Australia are playing the same boards and some clubs have not yet run their event.

Keep watching this space .................

SUPERVISORS:

Enter now for this event, which is being held on Thursday, 27 August commencing play at 9:00am sharp.

This is a green point event. However, if your pair places in the top 50% of participants, those green points will change to red points.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Bridge NSW is encouraging us to invite our friends to join the bridge community.

If you enjoy this challenging pastime, then perhaps you would like to share the fun with a friend.

The photo above is being used on the tables of Online Supervised Play on Sunday evening. These tables are open to players from all over NSW. You will notice that it features some of our own Taree players!
