"Dear Youth Bridge Community,
We have 2 exciting events coming up, please let me know if you are interested in either.
2023 Youth Weekend 1-3 September in Christchurch
This event has moved to Winter Tournament week to hopefully allow secondary students to travel on the Friday and start the weekend Friday night and finish early afternoon on the Sunday. Registrations and further details to follow next week.

What better way to finish Mother's Day than to play 16-18 boards against other youth players across Asia and Europe. No charge for this event and we can try and find you a partner.
Let me know any feedback or if you are starting to get too old for Youth Bridge.

Paul
