Roland

Nice !

And, please, Roland, update the upcoming Vu-graph page asap ! Don't tell me that we have to wait till 27/10 to have a show ! :rolleyes: :D

Alain

No, we won't have to wait long, Alain. I sent an e-mail to Gerardo earlier today (he is the one who updates our vugraph schedule web page). He will as soon as he gets a minute.

I can tell you and others that we will have the Lederer Memorial Trophy from London and the Queenstown Open Teams from New Zealand this upcoming weekend, and the week after (starting Thursday) we will move on to Montecatini for the Italian Club Team Championships.

Huge gratulations to the Norwegian team and of course to Harald!

A 100-year old political decision just cost us a World Championship ! :rolleyes:

Thank you all!

It's been some hectic days since the final. Quite a lot of attention from media, which in very uncommon for bridge in Norway. Over 100 (I estimate) internet newspapers published the news of our teams success. Yesterday Tor Helness was interviewed on national radio. This morning Helness and our federation's president, Mr Helge Stanghelle, got 6 minutes on national TV (the 2nd largest channel). We're working with the largest channel too. And the second biggest newspaper visited our office yeasterday interviewing our Secretary General, Mr Rune Handal, and me.
Kind regards,
Harald

I have been watching and listening to interviews with Tor Helness and Helge Stanghelle (president) on TV2 Norge (both of them) and Norwegian radio (Helness), available through the NBF web site.

What great publicity for Norwegian bridge. I think you can raise your expectations to more than the 12,000 members you hope for by the end of 2008, Harald.
