And Monday’s open charity event in aid of Dawn Walk Kildare will start at 20:00 on BBO, hosted by South Midland Bridge Club (CBAI125506). Look for the “Dawn Walk” tournament (#93331). Dawn Walk is a charity which provides crisis counselling free of charge to people with suicidal ideas, and is a very deserving cause. As you can imagine, the pandemic has caused an increase in the need for their services, and has hampered their ability to fundraise.
