| 4 Tables |
December 10th - We have four tables committed. Any further pairs will be most welcome.
Each week we send out an email asking players to indicate if they are playing next Tuesday. This was started after the pandemic when sometimes we didn't get four tables, which was seen as the minimum number needed for a proper duplicate movement.
As attendance has improved slightly, we have rarely failed to reach that four table minimum, so we have stopped sending the confirmation email. However I shall update this page each week on Monday or Tuesday to confirm that we have reached the four table minimum.

| Hand of the week |
Show Detail |
All tables played 4S by North on this hand from last Tuesday's duplicate but only one player made the vital overtrick. Yet there is no defence to 11 tricks for N.
The most common lead was a diamond, won by W and the continued the suit. Declarer won and played a trump to dummy, discovering the 4-0 break.
Abandoning trumps, declarer came to hand with AC and led a H to Q and ruffed a club. Now he discarded a H on a winning diamond and conceded a H. E won and played a second trump but declarer could now ruff a H and a D in dummy to make 11 tricks. There was no defence.
