and nights, has workshops by Paul Lavings, six sessions of walk-in pairs,
culminating in a “Teams-of-Three” for novices on the final day. Although held at the Brisbane Bridge

supporter of the Brisbane Festival and is seen below with his winning

The
2007 Brisbane Festival of Bridge will run from Wednesday 26th to Sunday 30th
