Monday, 24 October 2022

________________________________________________________________________________________________

I hope you are enjoying Bernard Magee Bridge.

For the next two weeks on the website we will have a set of 8 x Mixed Set Hands each week (taken from previous content) for you to play in organised BBO sessions.

• MIXED SET HANDS No.30 = w/c 24 October for one week
• MIXED SET HANDS No.31 = w/c 31 October for one week

The accompanying LIN and PBN files will also be available for you to play at your leisure. Having played the 8 x Set Hands you can then watch Bernard’s accompanying videos explaining the play of each hand.
