In the Annual Meeting of the
Triad Bridge Unit, although the
proposal to have a North Carolina
AAA Bridge Tournament in 1995
was approved by the four clubs
and the Executive Board of the
Triad Bridge Unit, the matter was
put to a vote and passed by a
majority. '{
Durham and Charlotte had
previously approved having the
N.C. Triple A. This means, simply
that in 1 995, there will be only one
Grade "A" Tournament in North
Carolina, in the past years, Grade
"A** Tournaments were held in
Durham. Charlotte and Triad area
(three). The national office has
strongly suggested having only
one Grade "A" in each state dur
ing the past few years. No other
state in the Mid-Atlantic Secticfa .
has more than one Grade "A'\
therefore the "1995 North Car
- olina AAA" will comply with the
wishes of the American Bridge
Association.
Thanks to all members of the
Unit for supporting this decision
and the event. The idea is to, at
least try the "N.C. AAA" and see
if the three areas will profit from
such arrangement. In the past
years* Durham and Charlotte have
lost money on some of their Grade'
"A" Tournaments, while the Triad
Bridge Unit made money. The
event will require expert planning
and working together in a timely
fashioning to insure success. We
, can do it! J
