Podstatná časť z listu Anny Maria Torlontano, predsedkyne ženskej komisie v EBL, adresovaného národným bridžovým federáciám:
I was so happy to meet some of our European NBO personnel in Rome and to speak about the activity of the Women's Bridge, and the ambitious projects that the Women's Committee want to achieve in 2009!.
I know that, because of this, that you may well already be aware of what I am going to tell you, but please read it anyway and help us to achieve our aims – we rely so much on your goodwill and cooperation!
2008 was a very interesting and productive year:
For this exciting event, certificates will be awarded to the winning pairs and individuals, and the overall winner will have the opportunity to play a BBO tournament with World Champion Fulvio Fantoni.
The three important objectives are:
1) To help the Women Players who wish to compete in a National and International Championships, giving them the opportunity to train, playing with their partners against players from all over the World.
2) To provide a social event in an excellent atmosphere, making many new friends
3)To promote Women’s Bridge worldwide.
During the Festival the tournaments which are played every Wednesday will be suspended, to start again in the month of May.
Of course your collaboration is extremely important and really indispensable. Without your support, we cannot achieve our FESTIVAL for sure, and the event cannot be a success.!!
Next to publicise the event (and the weekly tournaments) in your National Magazines and at your women’s tournaments so that your players are aware of them
Please help us to make the event a great success by giving it as much publicity as you can – if possible, please send an email to all your women players so that they are aware of the event!
