Simon Lucas Score Pad – Fox

Description

Bridge Score Pad – Fox

The Simon Lucas Bridge Score Pad – Fox – is a very smart score pad. Containing 50 double-sided score cards choose between rubber, chicago, or plain paper for scoring other games like whist, doppelkopf or scrabble. Firstly, we print our score cards on quality card. Then we make them into a pad with a back board to lean on and cover to keep them clean. A pad keeps the score cards neat and tidy. Furthermore, the score sheets don’t get tatty as they aren’t loose.

A top British Ceramics Artist painted the wonderful watercolour of a fox exclusively for us. In addition, we have printed the beautiful cover with gold ink making it exceptionally special. Along with the rest of our Countryside range, these pads are highly desirable and collectible. They look good in any combination on your bridge table!

The score cards are made from quality card so you can either give each player their own pad or a single score card. Alternatively you can put the score cards into our score card holders. Moreover, each bridge score pad – Fox – contains 50 double-sided score cards, which is 100 games per pad.

The score cards measure approximately W8.2 x L19.4cm.

In Celebration of the Fox

The fox is a remarkably adaptable and successful animal found, where food is plentiful, in almost every habitat. It is a success because it is willing to eat almost anything and has become particularly adept at surviving alongside man in farmland and urban areas. With its bushy tail, large ears and narrow muzzle, the fox is unmistakable. The coat colour can be extremely variable – usually reddish-brown on top with lighter undersides, but much darker or even silvery forms are not uncommon.

The fox appears in many pieces of literature. As well as several references in the bible, the fox is central in Aesop’s fables from about AD500, features in Canterbury Tales and is the main component of the epic poem Reynard the fox.

Even today foxes have an important part in language and literature. Many famous children’s stories contain foxes as protagonist. These include The Gingerbread Man, Chicken Licken, The Sly Red Fox and the Little Red Hen and Fantastic Mr Fox. Such stories typify the stereotype that foxes are cunning and deceitful, but also successful and to be admired.
