Many thanks to those who attended the Annual General Meeting of the CBAI in the Greenway Manor Hotel, Waterford, on Saturday 5 July. There was a great turnout, and it was very helpful to hear the views of the members on the main issues of relevance to the Irish bridge community. Our thanks to new President John Phelan and his team from the South Eastern Region for their organisation of the event, and to Diarmuid Reddan who ran the game of bridge afterwards, which was very well-supported (27 tables) and raised almost €1,400 in very useful funds for the new President’s nominated charity, Autism Friendly Waterford. John has asked us to pass on his, and the charity’s, gratitude to all who stayed on for the game.

- President – John Phelan (South Eastern Region)
- President-Elect – George Ryan (South Midland Region)
