The club welcomed a new player, Elizabeth Wood; thank you for coming. Next Friday there will be another game, same time and place; all bridge players are cordially invited. For information call Les Buzzell at 783-4153 or 754-9153 or e-mail buzz116@myfairpoint.net.

This week's bridge tip:

When returning the suit partner has led, with two cards remaining return the higher: with three remaining, return the lowest.

Say partner leads low and dummy has low cards. If you have A 10 5, play the A and return the 10. If you have A 10 6 5, play the A and return the 5.

Good bidding and play, see you at the bridge table.
