We are delighted to say that our Open garden event last Sunday raised £1750 that goes towards the NGS chosen charities.
It was great to see so many of our Bridge club friends turning up to support us and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to our success.
We would like to invite you to our Open Garden afternoon next Sunday 16th August
It’s part of the NGS and all of the money goes to three different charities which the NGS picks.
Our garden is 1 acre with a woodland adjacent to a 10 acre field. There is plenty to see and refreshments plus a plant sale are on offer too.
Jean and Rosie are happy to report having survived the Half Marathon on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Society in Norfolk on Saturday – Just!
It was an uplifting experience to be amongst so many people walking on behalf of loved ones, and we are so grateful to have raised over £1400, with very special thanks to the generosity of our Bridge friends
It may not have escaped your attention that England are playing in the Semi Finals of the world cup tomorrow and the powers that be have timetabled the match to clash with our lesson schedule. We have decided to bow out gracefully and let the match take precedence so there will be NO BRIDGE LESSONS tomorrow.
This was scheduled to be the last lesson of the year so that’s it for lessons until we restart on September 9th. Then we will be offering a weekly Improvers session aimed at people who know the basics of the game but would like to put more ideas and skills into practice.
Thursday 30th July will be a Gentle Duplicate Session and we would love to see our beginners and improvers there. Anyone who would like to take part but needs a partner please get in touch and everyone will be accommodated.
Two of our members Jean and Rosie are taking on a 13 mile walk in Norfolk in order to raise money for the fight against Alzheimer’s disease
If you would like to support them in their endeavors then visit the Just Giving website and search for “Jean and Rosie”. They are taking part in Trek26 Norfolk Coast. They have already smashed their target but would greatly appreciate any further donations
We wish them all the best on the day

On average when playing Bridge you will spend 25% of games as declarer, 25% as dummy and 50% defending against your opponents’ contracts so Defense is all important.
Wednesdays lesson will cover defense strategies looking at reading the bidding, analysing dummy and predicting partner’s winning cards. We will offer some do’s and dont’s for better defensive play and hopefully will have the air conditioning on.
All are welcome. Tower Room 7.00pm.
Fred will be taking the Improvers tomorrow with a session of supported Duplicate.
The planned session on Defensive Strategies will now take place next week on Wednesday 24th June and we hope to see you at both sessions
Thursday 18th June
This Thursday is our annual Strawberry Bridge evening. Members enjoy their usual duplicate bridge but there is a break for strawberries, cream and shortbread biscuits.
