Chris Reminisces

With plenty of time on his hands during his recent stay in hospital, Chris reminisced on his 17 years at Southern Highlands Bridge Club. This document is the outcome. Adele has come up with a lovely anecdote from her Wentworth Falls days. Not really SHBC history but still, a a good read. It would be really nice if anyone else has their own anecdotes they would like to share. Let Steve or Chris know and we can build up a more balanced and complete history.

Both booklets by Rakesh Kumar are now available: each is an easy-to-read 44-page guide, with booklet 1 written especially for improving club players and booklet 2 for intermediate players.

Booklet 1 will help players to consolidate their grasp of the fundamentals of partnership bidding and defence. It covers hand evaluation, finding a fit, dealing with interference, thinking in defence etc.

Booklet 2 focuses on more accurate competitive and and slam bidding, as well as more effective defence. It includes discussion of a variety of useful bidding methods and worthwhile conventions, signalling methods etc.
