Hello everyone, The session this Tuesday will be practicing for the London Cup, so all the pairs will be playing together and we will have a mini tournament. If you are not playing in the London Cup then still come along as this will be an excellent learning experience for you. There will of course be tea/biscuits/union trip afterwards. We are looking for another pair to play the London Cup as well as Warwick have a stray pair. Let Louise know on Tuesday if you are interested. London Cup: 2nd December, Flowers Rm G47A/B, 12am -7pm Imperial A: Louise & Partner Jack & Filip Imperial B: Ben, Dave, Caleb , Thomas Imperial C Robin, Hattie, Martha, Thum There is more detail about the London Cup on the website: http://londoncup.webs.com/ and in the attached conformation email that was sent. Also this week was the first week of 'problems' being posted to the Facebook group. (if you are not a member already join using this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/500143033479857/) Here is the problem: Scoring: IMPS Vulnerability : All vulnerable You are sitting south and the dealer is West. You Hold: AJ4 A982 KQ62 T4 The bidding goes (2S)- P - (P) - ? 2S = Weak (4-10) with 6+ S What do you bid? - there is a poll on facebook as there is no right answer. The problem then extends into play: To put you all out of your misery - Zia bid 2NT. His partner then bid 3NT. Now you have to play it! Any correct answers will win a small prize. (you can PM me) You get the KS lead and choose to win with the Ace. Recap of the bidding (2S*)-P-(P)-2NT-(P)-3NT - All Pass 2S = Weak; 6+ Spades Full Hands 962 K3 J95 AK987 ----------- AJ4 A982 KQ62 T2 See you all on Tuesday! Laura

Hi everyone, The session will again be in Blackett 630 with free tea/biscuits. This week the BBC is coming to record us for radio 4, look at the attached image for what they want to talk to us about. It's something about politics and the fact bridge is an 'old' game. You don't have to take part if you don't want to obviously. The bridge Facebook page is up and running! Please join the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/500143033479857/ It should be used for organising bridge meet ups, posting results of the upcoming tournaments and in general everything bridge based. Add your bridge playing friends too! Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday :) Kind regards, Laura
