Fancy free entry to NZ Congress?


By Anna Kalma - Posted on 21 June 2017

The annual NZ Bridge Congress is on our doorstep in Hamilton and is held from Saturday 30th September to Saturday 7th October.

There are a number of events you can take part in - from Novice through to Open across the week. And to encourage people who aren't regular congress goers, the Waikato Bays regional committee are sponsoring up to 4 people to congress to the value of $200 each. You can either self nominate to go into the draw ... or your club can nominate worthy recipients.

Conditions apply:
You need to be a member of a Waikato-Bays club that is affiliated to NZ Bridge.
Self-nomination:
You must have played in at least 2 tournaments in the Region since 1st September of the previous year.
You have not played more than once at Congress in the last 5 years (excluding the Top Teams event or Congress Novice Pairs).
Club-nomination:
Waikato Bays clubs may nominate any member of their club with a brief explanation as to why they wish to nominate this player.

Closing date for nominations will be 25 August 2017.
For each category, all names will go into a “hat” and two names in each category will be drawn soon after the closing date. If there are insufficient nominations at the closing date then those nominated are selected.

Please send your nomination to the Waikato-Bays Secretary with a list of tournaments played in between 1st September last year and 31st August this year (self-nomination) or brief explanation (club-nomination).
