To all clubs re 2017 bridge laws

To all clubs:

You will have recently received a bulletin from Murray Wiggins, NZ Bridge Chief Director, regarding the 2017 Laws of Contract Bridge.

The Waikato Bays seminar has now been confirmed as Sunday 2nd July at the Matamata Bridge Club.
Morning tea at 9:30am followed by the seminar at 10am, and estimated finish time is 12-12:30pm.

There will be no cost to attend, but we do need to know numbers, so please contact secretarywbbc@gmail.com with the list of those attending from your club, or enter on line in the tournament/regional events drop down menu of the WBRC web site. www.waikatobays.bridge-club.org/entries

Note that this is not director training - it is for existing directors only, so that they may become familiar with changes to the laws. Please encourage all your active directors to attend.

Afterwards, we hope that the PowerPoint presentation will be available to clubs to use to help their players become familiar with the new laws. If your club is not confident to use the presentation, then the region can arrange for one of our experienced directors to do it for you, perhaps with a group of nearby clubs.

Due to the success of the Allan Joseph director seminars earlier this year, I have pencilled him in to come back in February 2018. His seminar will be updated for the new laws, and will be suitable for current and aspiring directors.

Kind regards,
Rona Driscoll
Chairperson, Waikato Bays Regional Committee
