Category: Social Bridge

The “social bridge” group launched a new season on 7 January 2025, when ten of us gathered at the Burley’s in Divonne: Brian, Dave, David, Jeff, John, Mark, Mark, Terry, Wolfgang and Wouter.

Unfortunately, Brian had to leave us early on. But fortunately, after a visit to the hospital in Nyon, he is now safely back home.

The rest of us had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, characterised as usual by some remarkable hands, some awful hands, some pretty smart playing and not least a little forgetfulness here and there.

The tea-break was enlivened by Wolfgang and Wouter who having found the fèves inside the galettes offered by John in celebration (well only a day late) of Epiphany, insisted on wearing the quite colourful crowns.

We had a fun social bridge session at my house on Tuesday November 5. We should have known it would produce some strange results as it was USA election day.

Present were Brian Allardyce, John Burley, David Colledge, Terry Gale, Dave Gwilliam, Wolfgang Miltzow, Mark Watts.

Here is the first hand dealt to Wolfgang

A genuine yarborough, not often seen.

Five of us played a very pleasant few hands at Dave’s house. We welcomed new member Jerry Swart who has just moved to Divonne from Florida. Ken celebrated returning from Portugal by receiving a yarborough which, the internet informs me, has an expected frequency of 1 in 1828 hands.

I had the misfortune to be partnering Ken and played 3 clubs which only went down by 1.

Participants Dave Gwilliam (host), Richard Wiley, Ken Forrester, Jerry Swart, Mark Watts.

I plan to have a social session at my house next Thursday Jan 25 at 14:00. If you are interested please let me know.
