Chairman's Corner

No.17, May, 2008

We have a new look to the NSWBA Council from this month. Four new Special Councillors will take office at the next meeting.

Trish Carter from Tamworth, Doreen Kjeldsen from Wagga, Colin Mitchell from the Central Coast, and John Brownie from Sydney will represent the perspectives of affiliated clubs across NSW. I look forward to working with them. The Council extends its thanks to the outgoing FABC councillors, Neville Farrell and Ken Storr.

Whatever you think of the Government’s 20/20 summit, it is interesting to ask, where is bridge going to be in 12 years time? And what should the NSWBA be doing to help it evolve and grow? Any comments welcome – you can email me at chairman@nswba.com.au.

One thing for sure, a lot of bridge will be played on the internet! Every night you can see plenty of local players on BBO, playing, doing bidding practice, watching Vugraph matches, or just chatting. Hopefully online bridge clubs will soon be able to affiliate and offer masterpoints etc.

Play well.
Enjoy!!!

Bruce Neill
Chairman NSWBA
