Gay Games 2010 (Cologne, Germany) has no bridge on the program. I know there has been bridge before. I wonder what it would take to add another discipline to the program. Anybody knows?

I seem to recall some discussion at the time that the Chicago Gay Games schedule was released (without bridge) that the auxiliary events to be included were at the discretion of the organizers. So, a campaign to the Cologne organizing committee would seem to be the next step.

Ironically for this discussion, the Chicago Gay Games were held at the same time at the Chicago ACBL Summer Nationals.

Thanks, Mark. I'll try to mobilize my connections in London and Amsterdam.

It will probably strengthen our position if we can find sponsors for the Bridge event, and if we can arrange some media coverage. Would BBO be willing to vugraph it if we provide operators?
