Following the great success of the WBF/BBO Online Bridge Festival held in April 2008 this year, we have decided not only to repeat the Festival in April 2009, but also to create a Women’s Online Bridge Club. The purpose of the Club will be to have a special website where women can get information about Women’s Bridge – both on line and in clubs, tournaments, Festivals and Championships. To get all information about membership, registration etc., please visit the Membership page. (The players who registered already for the Festival 2008, do not have to register on the BBO website. Their names are already in the data base and automatically they have become a member of the Women's Online Bridge Club!) If you want information about Women’s Bridge, please just email anna@ecats.co.uk and tell her your name, (first name and last name) and your country; if you want to play in the Women's Tournaments then please fill in the registration form. I am pleased to report the words of José Damiani read during the General Assembly: “ ... this is the case also for the women, thanks to the initiative taken by Anna Maria Torlontano, and the Women’s Committee, who I thank and compliment for their first success and for the developments they are suggesting”. Finally I like to thank BBO Italy and Sky for the technical support of the organization. Anna Maria Torlontano |
is planned to hold every Wednesday each week (starting November 5th 2008) of online tournaments just for women where they can play in a relaxed and social atmosphere, with just that exciting edge of competition! There will be two individual and two pairs events on that day to try and ensure that players from all over the world will have a competition within their time-zone that they can enjoy. It will also mean that pairs who live apart can train online by participating in these events, and in addition perhaps create new partnerships and friendships.
