A very happy new year to all CBAI members. We wish you good health, peace, and prosperity for 2024, accompanied of course by lots of enjoyable bridge.

The year starts this weekend with action both at home and abroad. We have the Waterford Congress in the Tower Hotel, back live for the first time since covid, with all welcome. Please support the congress if you can; entries by email or to Margery Godinho on 087-2896163.

And in Newport, Wales, our team will do battle in the first home international championship of 2024, the first of two weekends for the Camrose Trophy. This is the 81st running of this event, making it the world’s most-played international bridge series. This year’s second weekend will be in England in March.

Our team is Mark Moran, John Carroll, Tom Hanlon, Conor Boland, Ciarán Coyne, David Walsh, and NPC Gráinne Barton, and we’re sure you’ll join us in wishing them well. You’ll find all the details, including the teams and their biographies, here, and the running scores once play commences here; you can also watch the event from the comfort of your own home, and listen to some expert commentary, via RealBridge.
