Perusal of the NABC calendar shows that the following tournaments might not yet have been booked by ACBL Headquarters:<br class="">Spring 2022, Spring 2024, Spring 2025 and beyond. As the sponsoring organization is nominally the geographic district, we thought it prudent to inform and perhaps involve the District Board, that the people at the meeting would be contacting ACBL Headquarters regarding the possibility of such a tournament.<br class=""><br class="">As you know Vancouver is a popular ACBL member tourist destination so it could be expected to do fairly well. If there are currently some plans for a future Seattle (or other district city) NABC we'd like to hear about them so as to coordinate. Please also advise of your current views regarding holding a future NABC in Vancouver.<br class=""><br class="">Thanks and regards,<br class=""><br class="">Nick Stock<br class="">Unit 430 Rep<br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
