Lady Milne – Vugraph operators required
This year the NIBU is hosting the Lady Milne bridge tournament for women’s teams from Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England with a team from the NIBU to even up the numbers.
The event will take place from the 17th to the 19th of April at the La Mon Hotel and Country Club.
We require a number of volunteers (Vugraph Operators) to help record the bidding and play at each of 6 tables over 10 sessions(2hrs) so the more help we have the lighter the load for each.
If you are interested in helping please contact Brian Mullan 07864858479.
If not interested please pass this message on to someone who might.
