Northern Ireland Bridge Union

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 17^th to the 19^th 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.

This event has now been cancelled as there are not enough entries to feasibly run the competition.

Please see below website post on capacity constraints for the Burke and O’Connor, which means that entries will have to be limited. If you know of any players from your county/region who either traditionally enter one of these events, or who have expressed an interest in doing so, you might bring this information to their attention, please.
