Playing at Wortley Oval and needing to win to stay in contention for 4th spot on the ladder, Bald was elevated to Playing at Wortley Oval and needing to win to stay in contention for 4th spot on the ladder, Bald was elevated to open the innings rather than bat in the middle order, and the move paid off.

By Nasik Swami
We would have been so much better if we had reconciled our past with the First Nations people of this land.
This was the message delivered by James Darling AM, a South Australian conversationalist who was the guest speaker at Australia Day celebrations at the Naracoorte Town Square.
In a thought-provoking message, Mr Darling said we must continue to give a fair go to all, irrespective of backgrounds, culture, or creed.

Your Say: David Beauchamp, Naracoorte

Your Say: Poor wheelchair access and information available at the Naracoorte Caves National Park

by | Jan 30, 2024 | , ,

Your Say: Ivor Wolstencroft

Has anyone recently reviewed the wheelchair accessible display (which a visitor pays for) with their very dated “touch screens” at the end of the display.

Bridge: Don’t Bid Again

Bridge: Don’t Bid Again

by | Jan 30, 2024 | , ,

by John Elliott
One of my firmly held principles is that after opening 1NT or a Weak Two, I will not bid again unless Forced or invited to do so.  Stayman and Transfers count as forcing bids after 1NT and a single raise of 1NT to 2NT counts as an invitation, to bid 3NT with a maximum, or Pass with a minimum.
