 Lake Havasu City Convention & Visitors Bureau • Arizona
The first "London Bridge" was built by the Romans in 43 A.D. They built a temporary pontoon bridge which was planks laid across a row of anchored boats, or they may have used ferry boats.
The next record of a bridge was 984 when a report was recorded of a widow and her son who had driven pins into the image of a man. The woman, who was thought to be a witch, was taken to the London Bridge and drowned while her son escaped.
This bridge would have to be quite different from the previous London Bridge as the old prints were for horse drawn carriages.

 Bridge convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the game of contract bridge, a convention is an agreed-upon meaning for a call (a bid, double or redouble, or a pass) during the auction phase of the hand.
A natural convention, for example, is the one notrump opening (showing a balanced hand and 10-13, 11-14, 12-14, 15-17, 15-18 or 16-18 high card points, depending on the partnership and perhaps other factors).
An example of an artificial convention is the Stayman convention, in which the responder's 2♣ response to a 1 NT opening says nothing about the clubs in responder's hand.

 B.U. Bridge: Boston University community's weekly newspaper
Moreover, Whalen says, the convention could remake the city’s reputation nationally by showing that it has outgrown its past of political corruption and racial tension.
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino (Hon.’01), who raised corporate gifts to support the 2004 convention and was instrumental in building the Massachusetts coalition that sold the city to the Democratic National Committee, will reflect well on the city of Boston during the convention by “just being himself,” says Whalen.
Boston has traditionally been an unattractive location for a convention because of its legacy of political corruption and racial intolerance, Whalen says, and ironically, because Massachusetts as a whole is perceived as a bulwark of liberalism.

But Republican convention officials say the span now going up over Eighth Avenue to connect Madison Square Garden and the Farley Post Office is the first physical sign of something more permanent: a new Penn Station.

It is used as a framework for problems in the Master Solvers’ Club, by impromptu partnerships, and as a basis for discussion by those who wish to formulate their own system.
Where the experts are in substantial agreement (with close cases decided, when possible, by the votes of Bridge World readers at large), those methods become part of the system.

The conservative government of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi had planned to build the bridge, saying it would help modernize the country's infrastructure and that such big public projects would help boost the flagging domestic economy.
