  Lessons

Tuesday Lesson May 7th with Mary Elson, 9.30 till 12.00

Mary will cover a topic with a growing popularity – Puppet Stayman.  Finding an 8-card major suit fit is still the highest probability way to achieve good scores, and we need to have the machinery to do this.   It is not a great idea to open 1 of a suit with 21 points, a balanced hand and a 5-card major.  There is far too much risk of partner passing and a game being missed.  Revamp your 2NT openings and responses and be sure of finding the best spot every time. Come along and have a fun and informative morning coming to grips with this very useful convention – 9.30 am till 12.00 noon.  Table fee is $18, no need to book in.
