and to James and Kathleen McAllister on winning the Inter A B Pairs

Most bridge players realise and enjoy the wonderful coverage supplied by BBO, managed by Roland Wald, however the organisation relies on a large number of volunteer commentators. BBO needs people who are able to analyse a bridge hand, people who are articulate and pretty fast typists, and hopefully not too biased when commentating. Sense of humour is an asset.
Those who would like to contribute should send an e-mail to Roland Wald (just click) and he will get in touch in due course.
