Reminder - NZ Online Bridge Strategy:
NZ Bridge is developing an Online Bridge Strategy. As part of the consultation process the NZ Bridge Online Strategy Working Group has asked for submissions from the Bridge community. The game of bridge has had to adapt to the new situation created by COVID. Maintaining a balance between face-to-face club bridge and the increasingly popular online alternative is an issue which NZ Bridge intends to consider in the development of the strategy. For a copy of the consultation document and survey please either click on the button above or pick one up at the club:
Return surveys to the office or email:
