WELCOME from the chairman
of EBL Youth Committee
Once again I am very pleased to welcome all of you – players,
team officials and guests – to our flagship competition, the
European Youth Team Championships. This year we are holding the 20th
edition of this great event and I am glad that no less than 26
countries responded to our call and are represented here in
Riccione. We are all very thankful to the Italian Bridge Federation
for having chosen such a wonderful place for young people and
grateful to the local authorities – administrative and bridge – for
having prepared what appears to be an excellent championship. I
am sure that all of us will do whatever it takes to ensure the
success of these championships and wish all of you to achieve your
goals in Riccione ’05.
Panos
Gerontopoulos (Chairman of the European Youth
Committee)
