The European Bridge League has published this statement on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. President Jan Kamras, whilst recognising that the actions of the bridge world are unlikely to have any major impact on the conflict, notes nonetheless that the bridge community has a responsibility to support Ukraine and show its revulsion at the Russian actions, and the support of Belarus for those actions. You’ll see that certain supports are planned for the Ukrainian Bridge Federation, and that Russian and Belarussian participants have been disinvited from all EBL events until further notice.
The EBL has also published the latest edition of its Women’s Newsletter, edited by our own Mary-Kelly Rogers, which you may find of interest. We have been asked in particular to draw members’ attention to the EBL national Women’s and Seniors’ Pairs events from 12-15 June in Madeira, in conjunction with the 55th European National Team Championships.
