We have five new books in our extensive clubhouse library with excellent tips and exercises to help you improve your card play. Written by Barbara Seagram and David Bird, they are well set out and easy to follow. Titles include: Defensive Play at Bridge, Declarer Play at Bridge (helpful for those players with about 50 Masterpoints looking to make that extra trick), Planning the Play of a Bridge Hand (useful for new players) and more.

Congratulations go to our recently promoted members: Michael Lawrence (to Bronze Life Master), Delia Dan (to State Master) and Trish Roberts (to Graduate Master). For information about ranks, click here. Also, congratulations to our club’s top 50 most improved players (as at 31 August 2019).
