Tournament Review: 
NZ Bridge is carrying out a review of the tournament schedule in general including the Inter-Regional Championships (previously known as the Inter-Provincials).

The Canterbury Region will be making submissions. If you have any views on the following we would like to hear from you. We need to get replies by noon on 18 February. 
Topics you may reply to include:
  1. Should the Inter-Regional Championships continue at all, and if so, be played online or face-to-face.
  2. Are there too many, not enough or just the right number of events each year?
  3. Would you like more B point tournaments?
  4. Do you have any views on online bridge?
  5. Any other suggestions?
The Christchurch Club would like to hear from members with their views. Please email office@chchbridge.co.nz
