Where did you spend Easter? Skiing in some magical snowy wonderland, sipping schnapps and ladling down the fondue? On a gourmet tour somewhere, sampling the local delicacies and washing them down with copious amounts of plonk? Me? I was at the Royal National Hotel in Russell Square playing the Easter Guardian along with hundreds of other bridge addicts, and having a whale of a time!
There are three different tournaments to play over the four days of Easter and my favourite is the teams. This year 70 teams competed and the winners were Glyn Liggins and Joe Fawcett playing with their wives, Gillian Salt and Sarah Waddington. Congratulations to them.
Between sessions I browsed Brian Senior’s excellent bookstand and found something right up my street: Guy Levé’s Encyclopedia of Card Play Techniques at Bridge.
