MOOSE JAW REGIONAL - 2006
By Edwin (Ed) Anderson – Club President
It's time, I believe, for a bit of good, old-fashioned back
slapping, and (dare I say it) maybe a bit of bragging about our
Club and its members.
The recently concluded Moose Jaw Regional gave ample evidence that bridge in
Saskatoon is very healthy, indeed. Each and every daily winner's list contained a high
percentage of Saskatoon names. Of course, we've come to expect great performances
from a number of our top players, and once again they didn't disappoint - Joe and Sandi
Kerger, Andy and Curley Anderson, John Pulles, and Len Racette were among the top
performers in the tournament as usual, and we congratulate them all. In addition to
these performances, there were other bits of truly great news that may be even more
significant for our club.
It was wonderful, indeed, to see that some of our intermediate and several of our new
and enthusiastic players also came through with great performances.
Eleanor Kennedy, Alf Keating, Genevieve Salamon, Ursula Jugnauth, Dianne Moore and
Bev Prokop had exceptional tournaments, and were well rewarded in master points for
their efforts. Moe and Gloria Hnatuck both achieved Life Master status as a result of a
strong performance in team games, and the foursome of Maxine Cromwell (new LM),
Lynn Goshawk, Lorraine Lalonde-Mahy and Pat Dickson played at a high level throughout
the entire week with each of them scoring in excess of 20 master points.
All in all, our players represented us very well, and, as President of the Saskatoon Bridge
Club, I am pleased to give some long-overdue recognition to some very deserving
people. I realize that any message that names names is running the risk of making
serious omissions. It is my hope that I will be forgiven for any such unintentional
oversights and that the main point of the message will not be obscured. We are proud of
all of our players and their achievements.

Many kudos were given to the committee for the excellent hospitality.
Most important thanks to co-directors Eleanor Kennedy and Lee Von Hagen for their
tireless work in guiding the players through the weekend. Without their skill and of
course the cards and players we can not have a successful tournament.

EDUCATION
Verla Zerebesky
Education Coordinator
Lessons are winding down for the season. Verla and Shirley have
completed their ACBL courses and workshops; June and Ken are
progressing through Beginner Bridge 3. Please note that
although the Thursday morning BB group does not run over the
summer, the Monday evening game will continue for players
under 50 MP.
To reinforce the learning experience, students know that lesson materials are always
worth a re-read. In addition, the bridge club’s library contains a wealth of books on a
variety of bridge topics. All members of the club are invited to borrow (and return) these
books.
The teachers will be meeting soon to discuss plans for the Fall session of lessons. It
would be very helpful for us to have as much input as possible from the club members
with regard to the current and future Education Program. We aim to please! Feel free to
share your comments and or suggestions with Verla 373-6144.
Have a wonderful summer!
Note: All of the information pertaining to our teaching program is posted on our
website; and for this, we give great thanks to our talented Webmaster! Check it out at

EXPANSION AND RENOVATION - DREAM TO REALITY
By June Ogilvie
These
days, every time I walk into the Bridge
Club I am overcome with the feeling of how
spacious, bright and airy it is. The membership,
the Executive, the Building Committee and many
others created this wonderful atmosphere.
The first step towards having the Club as it is now was the amalgamation of the three
Clubs, namely The Club (evening), The Branch (afternoon), and The New Horizons
(Monday morning seniors). Through collaboration and information sessions a new
Constitution was written and approved by the membership in July 2003. A new
Executive was elected. To work as one Club it was necessary to complete financial
statements for each club for the period October 1, 2002 to July 3, 2003. Another
financial statement was completed for the period ending September 30, 2003 to show
the financial position of the Saskatoon Bridge Club and was presented to the Annual
General Meeting in December of 2003. It was at this meeting the Membership requested
the Executive to proceed with the process for an expansion.
In January and February, 2004 the Executive worked on identifying our needs and
outlining the steps required to reach our objectives. A Building Committee was
appointed. The Committee included Barry Prokop, Rand Burlingham, Doris Hassel and
Lew Heuchert. They were supplied with the Terms of Reference and things were
underway.
In the early stages one of the major realizations was that we not only wanted to expand
the Club to meet our growing needs, we also needed to renovate the original structure,
particularly to insulate the walls and ceiling.
In the spring of 2004, an architect was selected, preliminary
plans and a budget prepared. During the late summer we
held several information sessions to inform and to get input
from the membership. On October 17, 2004 we held a Special
Meeting to request approval to go ahead with the Project and
to obtain authorization to spend up to $400,000. on the
project.

We had an excellent turnout of members at the meeting and the motion was
unanimously approved. This was definitely a highlight.
The next steps included preparation of final drawings. We went to
Tender early in 2005 and received several bids with a relatively
small difference between the high and the low bids. This was
probably a real low for us because even the lowest bid was more
than we had budgeted for. All parties involved spent a lot of time
reviewing the bids and our needs. Finally the Executive, The
Building Committee and the Architect held a special meeting. The
Engineer also attended this meeting. We reviewed everything and
cut many items. We stayed with the mechanical, electrical costs
because one of our main considerations was good heating and
ventilation. However, even after the changes we made, we were
still over budget. Our only option was to call another Special
Meeting for February 20, 2005. We put a Motion on the floor requesting authorization to
spend and additional $160,000. The Motion was approved (121 in favor, 4 against).
Finally everything was GO! We had a Preconstruction Meeting on March 18, 2005 with
Architect, Dunmac Contractors, Building Committee, Executive representatives, and
Mechanical and Electrical Contractors. Things were about to actually begin. In April and
May some work was started and initially there was some discomfort to members
because of dust and noise. Because of this, Al Robb and myself started looking for
somewhere to relocate our games during the construction period. We had planned to
finish the expansion first and play some games in there and find a space to rent for our
larger games. It now seemed apparent that we should just find a spot and move
everything for the duration of the construction. After phoning and checking many
possibilities we lucked out and found space at Market Mall. The size was O.K. and the
rent was reasonable. We made the decision to make the move and even this went
smoothly thanks to Al Robb. We played in Market Mall for June and July and two weeks
in August. Dunmac Contractors paid for the
rent so even that was in our favor.
We moved back into the Club as scheduled in
August 2005. There have been a few things
that have had to be looked after since that
time but all in all I believe we are all very
happy with our new Club. A special THANK
YOU to everyone involved.

NS BUMP VS EW SIT-OUT
By Claire Jones – District 18
"The following message outlines reasons
for using a NS Bump rather than an
EW sit-out wherever possible".
I'll use the example of a 10 1/2
table game, but the principal is the
same in all situations and technically
superior and worth the little effort it
takes.
10 table bump:



30 boards in play
all boards are played 9 times and have a top of 8
3 board sit-out so players play either 24 or 27 boards
10.5 table sit-out:



33 boards in play
some boards played 9 times (8 top) and some boards played 8 times (7 top)
3 board sit-out so players play either 24 or 27 boards
Disadvantages:
I may get a top board and score 8 while another player's top is worth 7. The computer
will factor the scores so they have equal value but my top was harder to earn as I had to
beat 8 pairs while you only had to beat 7 pairs.
The 2nd is that as players we will have fewer boards in common. With 33 boards and I
play 24, there are 9 boards I miss. If you also miss 9 boards we only have 15 boards in
common. With a bump there are only 30 boards in play and we will have 18 boards in
common.
In duplicate you want to play as many of the same boards as
possible and you want the boards to have the same value. It
is for these 2 reasons that a bump is a superior movement.

IMPORTANT BRIDGE PLAYERS - Terence Reese
Terence Reese (born 28 August 1913 in Epsom, died 1996) is British bridge player, regarded as one of
the finest players of all time, and also as one of the most influential and acerbic of bridge writers with a
large output including several books which remain in print as classics of bridge play.
He was one of the designers of the Acol bidding system (named after the Acol Bridge Club in north
London) which has become the prevailing bidding system in Britain and many parts of the world.
He played many times for England in the Bermuda Bowl, but his final appearance was marred by
accusations that he and his partner Boris Schapiro were communicating illegally - in fact cheating. The
outcome of an enquiry was not clear, and Reese wrote a book Portrait of an Accusation about the affair.
He did not play international bridge again, but his career as a bridge writer continued unabated.
In his later years Reese played little competitive bridge, enjoying Backgammon as an alternative.
