To mark the amalgamation of the NIBU and the CBAI into a single all-Ireland bridge body, a special amalgamation congress is planned for 30 April to 2 May 2027, in the Europa Hotel in Belfast, with a full schedule of events along with some non-bridge entertainment.
As CBAI President George Ryan notes in his invitation, this gives CBAI and NIBU members a chance to “celebrate the amalgamation, meet old friends and make new ones … in a lovely setting.” The Europa Hotel is very central, close to shops and amenities, and well located in terms of public transport. An excellent accommodation rate of £135 per night b&b (single occupancy) or £155 per night b&b (double occupancy) has been arranged, and we understand that rooms are already booking up. So book early, quoting the bridge rate to secure your place.
If anyone needs further information on the congress, the brochure is below, and Congress Chair Harold Curran will be happy to take any queries.
