Parking outside Sobell Centre - it is now required to display a yellow pass to avoid a fine!

The Sobell Bridge Club

"The Club shall be run for the purpose of raising funds in support of, and promoting awareness of, Michael Sobell House at Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood by organising the playing of social or competitive bridge in any of its forms or by other means at the discretion of the Committee."


RESULTS

This is the way to access results. Just click on a date to see the results for all sessions that day.

Hand Printouts

Since we have been using the dealing machine, printouts of the hands have been available at the end of a session. The hands are also with the results on the website but the printout has additional information - a Deep Finesse Analysis of each hand. This shows what contracts could be made (with best play) by each player. In the example below, N or S could make 3D or 3S; E & W could make 1C, E 1H and W 2H.

Deep Finesse

Incidentally, this information makes it easy to see how accurate is The Law of Total Tricks.

WEDNESDAY BRIDGE CANCELLED

Notwithstanding the substantial efforts of Ian and Ruth, Wednesday's attendance has been small and declining. Therefore, Wednesday evening bridge is cancelled.

Volunteers Needed

The club needs to train more volunteers to operate the computer scoring systems (Scorebridge, and Bridgemate) and the dealing machine.

Car Parking Change

A new firm has taken over the enforcement of car parking regulations on the whole of the Mount Vernon site (UKPC Ltd). Contravention of any of the rules will result in a £50 enforceable parking ticket.  The car park outside the Michael Sobell Centre is no longer deemed to be “private”  and therefore is part of the UKPC brief. UKPC are aware of the yellow event passes we hand out and this arrangement will still stand.

TEAMS AT THE SOBELL

As everyone enjoyed the teams of 4 event in September and teams are very popular on away weekends, it has been decided to trial a teams event once a month.

Please note

  • Duplicate pairs bridge will be available as usual
  • Teams will be restricted to a maximum of 10 teams to enable moves to be coordinated with the duplicate pairs.
  • Form your own team in advance or Join up with another pair on the night.
