Rubber Bridge 2020
National Rubber Bridge Event
We have been advised by NZBridge that the National Congress in September will still be held and that the Rubber Bridge tournament in the regions can proceed as originally planned with the finals to be held at the Congress.
However the requirement for self isolation to 21st April or later will inevitably delay the start of this competition.
The closing date of entries in the Wellington Region is now extended to 15th April.
The draw will be made as soon as the self isolation restrictions are relaxed.
All current entries need to advise the convenor ( Graham Cheater grahamlcheater@gmail.com ) if they wish to withdraw due to concerns with the Covid-19 outbreak, particularly if they have recently returned from overseas.
