There's a Lesson in that ...

As the new season cranks into gear many clubs around the region are offering not only lessons for beginners but for those keen to advance a bit.

  • Barry Jones assisted by Jenny Millington starts his series of Lessons for Improvers at the Hamilton club on Friday 10th February
  • Clares Coles of the Cambridge club is also offering Lessons for Improvers beginning on Thursday 9th
  • The Mount Maunganui club will be holding a Skills Night on Leads Monday 13th and Karen Martelletti will be covering Stayman both there and at Tauranga on Tuesday 14th
  • Recent Matamata settler Kathy Yule plans half-hour instructional talks at 6:45pm Thursday nights. This article is a definite must-see as it gives an insight to Smith's Peter - a top-level signalling technique.

Turn-out at tournaments has been very good with entries at both Tauranga Congress and Rotorua's Kelly Pierse Teams closed early for space reasons. Both events ran seamlessly with excellent catering much appreciated by all. It'll be interesting to see how many turn up to play at the first round of the Waikato Area Pairs at Hamilton on Sunday.
