If it conjures up vi- sions of humiliation at going down on a hand you should have made, or you have missed a game by underbidding. Take solace! Chances are someone else has done the same thing at another table. That is the fascination of Duplicate Bridge: the comparison of a number of players playing the same hands. There is a misconcep- tion that you must be a super bridge player to play and enjoy Duplicate Bridge. It just 'ain't so'! Take it from someone who can botch an easy hand with the worst of us, but who has also known the bliss of bid- ding and making a grand slam in no trump, doubl- ed! A reasonable knowledge of playing and bidding in bridge is all that's necessary. After a couple of sessions of "Duplicate" it will become familiar and in- creasingly enjoyable. All you need for each session is a partner. It needn't be the same part- ner every week. You may spread out your talents among your friends, or have a regular partner if you prefer. In any case you will be assured of a good game of bridge weekly without cleaning the house and preparing refreshments beforehand! Unlike team sports, you play only when you can make it: attendance isn't compulsory. Of course the more often you can come, the more you will enjoy it and the better it will be for the Club. Mrs. Kathy Kroonenberg, a bridge enthusiast herself, has graciously arranged for us to have the use of the Banquet Room at Emiels' Restaurant tem- porarily until the Club becomes more firmly Seniors meeting The meeting was open- ed by the President after singing O Canada. We welcomed one visitor, Win Philips's sister. Club business was discussed, including our Xmas dinner which was put on hold until next meeting. Thanks was given to all who made our bazaar a succes. The trip to the Royal Winter Fair will be November 9th, leaving at 1 p.m. and returning at 6 p.m. Our programme for the after- noon was to hear the lovely voice of Bill Harper who favoured us with a few songs which was enjoyed by all The meeting closed, after which, cookies and tea was served by the Oc- tober lunch committee. established. The first session is to be Tuesday afternoon, October 30th, at 1:00 p.m. Mr. Harold Brown, has generously agreed to direct Duplicate Bridge Club, and the first session will be mainly instruction, practice and getting ac- quainted. Mr. Brown, who resides in Uxbridge, directs a Wednesday afternoon duplicate group there, and assists in the direction of their Tuesday evening Club. He also teaches bridge. Those of us who cre promising the formation of a Duplicate Bridge Club in Port Perry sincerely hope that all local bridge players of --Obituary our fledgling. both sexes will support our efforts, and if possi- ble attend the first ses-' sion. One major issue will be to decide on the best day of the week to play, and whether after- noons or evenings. Hopefully at some future " date we will have both, but we must learn to walk before we run! Qur ultimate success depends on everyone's support. The cost will be minimal: the enjoyment immeasurable! If you have any positive suggestions, of- fers of assistance, or wish further informa- 'ion, please call 985-3076 or 985-3791. We would ap- preciate your moral support.
