1) DISTRICT 1
ESTABLISHES WEBSITE:
By the end of September, this website will be in operation. We will try to
make it as bilingual as possible. We hope to make it a “1 stop
shopping centre” for bridge information in the District. There
will be district wide masterpoint race information and information about
achievements by our members. You can find out about what our
District is and how it works. Our District Director’s Report
(after each NABC) will inform you about the decisions of the ACBL Board of
Directors. We hope you enjoy the website and visit it often.
The contact links of your webmaster and content advisor are on the bottom
of this page.

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES BY MARITIMERS
AT
NASHVILLE NABC.
Congratulations
to Karl Hicks and Brian Alexander, who pulled off an unprecedented sweep
of the 0-5000 Life Masters Pairs and the 0-5000
mini-Spingold (with Mike Betts and honourary Maritimer, Jim
Gordon). And Mike and Jim were tied with Karl and Brian going into
the last round of the Pairs event! Quite a performance in these two
gruelling events!
