You know when you discover a new shop in your area that is just up your “I want this alley” and you are not quite sure whether you should share this gem with others, well that is how I feel about the Bridge Shop Australia. It is not too good to be true – it is in fact, true. So I suppose, being the generous soul that I am at this very moment, I will tell you all about it.
It has everything you need if you are a contract bridge fanatic as I am; books, software, club supplies, home supplies and giftware and all at a click of a button if you are not fortunate enough to be physically in Sydney where it is located.
This Is a Virtual Reality Bridge Gem of a Shop. Shop. Play. Learn.
There is nothing it doesn’t have or can’t get. Being in the top 10 contract bridge supply shops in the world-expect the best and you won’t be disappointed. Give it a go fellow bridge-boffs – you will love it.
When I discovered it, I immediately signed up for the newsletters and so it sits comfortably on my “favourite sites” list.
The Sum of All Technical Knowledge Cannot Make a Master Contract Bridge Player.
But, folks, wait a moment. This does not apply to those of us who play bridge games on the computer. My best times are spent on Vu-Bridge which you can access by clicking on the Bridge Shop’s website and play the hand of the week. You can get the benefit of professional commentary from top players and teachers and it is great fun.
The other must do is Bridge Baron 27 which is the world’s most popular contract bridge game on the computer. And also recently discovered is Jack 6 which you can download a sample of the manual and “getting started guide” to see if it is what you like.
So What Else Is There in This Bridge Shop? Bridge Art of course.
How about collecting some bridge art for your club or your home? I love the Saturday Evening Post posters of people playing the game of bridge. As I am a fan of Normal Rockwell I recently ordered this poster. It is a typical Rockwell painting as it depicts a simple scene of 4 players sitting around a table playing bridge. It was on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in May of 1948. Slick hair and black suits. Coiffed women and comfort. He always stated the obvious, but with a delving deeper into the scene, you see some foibles and wit. The red-head is scratching her head in confusion and her male partner (no doubt her husband) is sitting back and smiling smugly.
Words after the game – that is for sure! This bridge art poster gives my bridge chummies endless amusement and you start to see all sorts of hidden innuendos – as in real life in a bridge game.
