Okanagan Bridge Group

The UBCO bridge SIG played at the UBC Innovation Centre in the downtown Kelowna library for the first time.  The space worked well, and North and South players got some stretching as well as cognitive exercise because  the table was quite long😆.  Six showed for the game, so we rotated players every few hands, with observers serving as consultants.  We debated the pros and cons of aggressive bidding and the jury was split, though everyone agreed that the distribution of cards in a hand could enable a contract to be made even though high card points were low.  Our next play date is September 26, at 1:00 pm, in the Innovation Centre at the downtown library.  We welcome players of all levels to join us.  Please contact Barbara Rutherford (bjr22@telus.net) to join or for more information.

The conventions in Audrey Grant’s “Bridge at a Glance”  will be used until our numbers are large enough for partnerships to be stabilized.  Thereafter, partners can develop their own agreements.
