Bridge etiquette
Playing bridge means never having to say you’re sorry, ’cause you’re always on your best behaviour. So you probably don’t need to read the following:
Bridge Etiquette (from Cornhusker Bridge, Omaha)
Bridge Etiquette (from Anchorage Bridge Center)
Likewise, you’re not the one to hold up the bidding or the play of the hand. For instance, you always make your lead before writing the contract on your private score sheet. Or better yet, you write it down at the end of the round together with the result. As the author of Playing Fast (below) puts it, “if you can’t remember the trump suit, bridge may not be the game for you.”

Three new Life Masters
Three of our own attained the exalted status of Life Master at the Victoria Regional last week.
Congratulations to Nev Hircock, Ann Mazuruk and Reta Morrison.
Victoria Regional a huge success!
Ably chaired by Jan Galenza, the Victoria Regional, held April 13-19, was a huge success with a total attendance of 1116 tables. Local participation was over 35%, much higher than the usual rate of 15-25% at Regionals.
