Lead: ♣ 9

North can in all likelihood defeat 3 NT in their own hand, especially with the ace of one of oppo's suit and on opening lead, so shouldn't take out to 4D.
At another table East bid 2S over 2D, which a way too conservative (and then after pard passed and North bid 3D, East decided to bid 4S anyway!)
At another table North bid 3D, which is good as after South passes game is unlikely to be missed even though quite strong). This was correctly doubled (negative) and west rebid spades over which north went 4D and east 4S, which looks like good bidding all round.
