Just a quick reminder that we are rapidly heading towards the start of the Autumn Women’s Online Bridge Festival! It starts on Monday 10th November.

There will be 6 tournaments each day – two individual, two pairs and two robot duplicate tournaments – a second one of these has been added because of the success of the trial robot tourney in the Spring Festival.

There will be BBO prizes and fun prizes … but the main prize for the overall winner will be free entry to the Women’s Pairs Championship in Tromso, Norway next summer – for her and the partner of her choice. Well worth competing for I am sure you will agree.

Anna Maria Torlontano; Chairman of the WBF Women Committe explains you all about the Festival and personally encourages you to participate:

Dear bridge friends,
