Benedict is desperate to learn Bridge, but it's often difficult to find a gathering prepared to include a very beginner. I suppose we only really need a fourth - but it needs to be an experienced and tolerant fourth.
Anyway, we thought that next Sunday, 29th July, would be a good time to gather people together at our house to play bridge - we'd like a mixture of experienced people and beginners, so don#'t be shy, now's your chance.
Comment if you're interested, and what time you can make.

We also have a good card book that has a 3 handed bridge game.
(deal to 3 hands all the cards but 4 (actually you can vary the number you reserve for dummy), everyone throws away the excess cards until you are all down to 13, (and people have an idea of what is in the dummy from their own throw aways). Then you bid against each other to win the dummy. So you each have to score individually as pairs won't stay paired, but it's quite a good game for 3.

Date: 2007-07-24 04:50 pm (UTC)A couple of people at New Relativity said they might be interested; Colin said he was going to email the mailing list. I guess it depends if you'd rather have a quiet group of one or two specific extra people (possibly more conducive to learning mini-bridge) or a larger group (that might set up two tables and introduce a greater variety.)
