We still need a pair, so if you have a partner, feel free.

George, you have a regular partner you want to play with? If not I can play too.

Forum won by 1 IMP, on a match that saw leadership change 5 times. We would have swung it back to them if George hadn't balanced on the last board, which was pushed with both tables sacrificing against a making 3♦.

On 3, JEC apparently psyched an opening 1♠ on a 4=4=3=2 8 count, and backed it up by rebidding 2♥. He caught Ilaria with a big fit there so they ended up in a hopeless game. I think we can make 5♣, but we were never going to bid beyond a part score.
Board 11 was also really lucky. I had to guess which ace to lead with absolutely nothing to go on.. If I'd led the other one, 3♥x would have made. And it didn't get much easier after that. When I played ♠K, Mila played the 9 and Jimmy the 7. We were playing UDCA, so the 9 looks discouraging, maybe she wanted me to give her a ruff in a minor. But I went with my gut. GIB says that my defense should have only gotten him down 1 (I actually needed to lead the ♠J first, but Jimmy misplayed and went down 2 anyway.
