http://bridgedanny.blogspot.com/2015/06/scottish-schools-bridge-championship.html
I'm an improving bridge player living in Glasgow. I mostly play at The Buchanan Club with my wife Anna. Saturday, 20 June 2015. Scottish Schools Bridge Championship 2015. My school bridge club only started last November, and we're still very much novices. When we arrived at the Bridge Club in Stirling some of the friendly pupils from Hutcheson's Grammar school came over to say hello, and ask if we play. Our captain instantly replied. Sitting in seats by Compass Points. Cards arriving pre-dealt in boards.

Danny Bridge: October 2014

I'm an improving bridge player living in Glasgow. I mostly play at The Buchanan Club with my wife Anna. Wednesday, 8 October 2014. Glasgow League Division One: Rowan vs GUU. Anna and I missed the first match of the season, but we had an inkling it didn't go well when nobody mentioned the result. For the second match we were at home to another good team. It was good to see everybody again at the Buchanan club. We still lost the match, but at least picked up a few points in a narrow defeat. Hearts; x x x.

Danny Bridge: March 2015
http://bridgedanny.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
I'm an improving bridge player living in Glasgow. I mostly play at The Buchanan Club with my wife Anna. Monday, 30 March 2015. Glasgow League Division One: Maccabi vs Team Rowan. Our last match of the season and we finally got that famous win, clinching an 8.5-7.5 away victory against an understrength Maccabi team. It's a morale booster that has unfortunately come too late in the season, as we are already relegated. If only we hadn't suffered all those big losses at the start of the season,". Spades; K Q.

I play bridge. If you don't know what bridge is, this isn't the place to start.

Danny Bridge: Buchanan Congress Pairs 2015
http://bridgedanny.blogspot.com/2015/05/buchanan-congress-pairs-2015.html
I'm an improving bridge player living in Glasgow. I mostly play at The Buchanan Club with my wife Anna. Sunday, 3 May 2015. Buchanan Congress Pairs 2015. It's congress season and last Saturday Anna and I were at the Buchanan. This is our home club, even though we don't play there that often, and so it was a bit embarrassing when some other members asked us where we usually play. Last year at the congress we bombed in the qualification, then bounced back to win the consolation final (report here. In the b...
