sequence When leading, play the top of a sequence With 5 clubs and 4 diamonds, and a bare opener,
bid the diamonds first. Lead directing doubles. Weak jump shifts. Transfers to minors. Improved play of the hand. Never let the opponent have the bid for 1.

Negative
double. Signaling. Stayman. Play of the hand: make a plan, set up suits for
extra tricks.

General observations:
Everyone
thought the pre-set hands were a useful learning
experience. Mentors felt the mentees were eager to learn,
listened well and asked great questions. Mentees thought the mentors were patient,
understanding, helpful and kind. All thought there was more time needed for
discussion of hands.

Everyone agreed that this was a valuable
learning experience to repeat sometime again.
The best part was that new friends were made.
