PROPOSED NEW GROUPS 

BRIDGE TWO – initially the group proposes to offer an improvers  game to incorporate the inclusion and use of Acol conventions such as – Stayman – Weak and Strong No Trump – Gerber – Blackwood – Strong Twos’ – Quantative Bidding - Two Club opening and responses and other basic useful conventions as may arise or are considered by the group members.

Initially we are intending to meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month in the afternoon in member’s homes depending on numbers and commencing in the 2009 New Year. The group is not intended to be heavy going or to produce over seriousness but to enable players to enjoy the game to a greater degree than they may be currently achieving and perhaps alternating between Rubber and Duplicate Bridge.

If you would like to be part of this group or wish to discuss the proposal and register interest please Contact Peter Morris  e-mails will be forwarded from webster@devizesu3a.org.uk , ,     

 FAMILY HISTORY – This group was suggested during a chance meeting in the local Costa – If you are interested you should Contact Jean Volpi   e-mails will be forwarded from webster@devizesu3a.org.ukcall  :              

 

FANTASY INVESTMENT - Just like a Fantasy Football Team, but with shares.  Yes, I know the Footsie is falling like a stone, but it would still be interesting to track one's "virtual" investments.  Also, it has still not reached the previous nadir of this century, (March 2003).
 
Say, £20,000.       What would you do with it?  Where would you put it - or would you leave it in cash?  When to buy, when to take profits, when to cut your losses;  discussions regarding all of this.  Light hearted, not to be taken too seriously, but interesting if it interests you.  Meetings in my home unless numbers exceed chairs.  Contact Barbara Carlile for a chat. e-mails will be forwarded from webster@devizesu3a.org.uk , ,
