[sharechat] SKC + Bridge

Hi Snoopy

But now I am intrigued. They play Bridge at SKC Hamilton?
Tell us more Hoop!

SNOOPY

No they don't.

Duncan is right.

Bridge can be used as a gambling game however.( Rubber Bridge)

The filmstar Omar Sharif ( Bridge Grandmaster) was rumoured to have played for 1Pound/point back in the 1980's, which meant one could lose 1000 pound per hand if the luck was against you.

I think Omar lost an awful lot of marbles, millions.

Off Topic

Bridge Clubs in NZ play a different type of Bridge called Duplicate Bridge and also Teams Bridge.

NZ is affiliated to the World Bridge Federation and top players do travel the world and represent NZ in world events

Believe this...........Bridge has meet all the qualifications of the IOC and is deemed a sport. There is a lot of opposition but it seems that it might become an Olympic sports event at the Winter Olympics commencing in 2006. NZ has never won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics. that I am aware of....What's the bet that NZ first gold medal is for Team Bridge.

This post will incense some sports purists, for sure.

cheers

oop
