<p>It is with a heavy heart that I advise that the Whistler Regional Bridge Tournament is officially cancelled. We had hoped to be able to return to Regionals in the District in 2021, but sadly that is not to be. We would be remiss in not acknowledging our hotel partner, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler who have worked very closely with the District in trying to run a safe and fun event. We look forward to returning to Whistler in the future. The work done by original chair Bruce Busby and his team, current chair Marv Norden, and the District Tournament Committee are also deeply appreciated. Tournament Director Matt Koltnow has worked closely with the District and his counsel has helped guide us through these difficult times. </p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>As suggested in an earlier email, we encourage you to consider using some or all of the days you may have booked at the hotel for a non bridge getaway. It’s a very good rate at one of the top hotels in BC. If you do not plan on visiting Whistler, remember to cancel your hotel reservation.</p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>The next District Regional is scheduled for Leavenworth Washington, April 4-10 2022. Tournament Chair Karen Rise and her committee are busy working on a great week. If you have never been, you are in for a treat. Leavenworth is an old world Alpine/Bavarian style village. If you envision a small town, somewhere in Germany, nestled in a narrow valley and surrounded by mountains. Leavenworth could be that very place. More info here:</p>

<p>And if you can’t wait that long for a Tournament fix, remember the District Finals for the North American Pairs (NAP) are on BBO October 16 & 17. Entry fees are only $15 and the top 3 finishers in each flight earn subsidies of up to $700 each to attend the NABCs in Reno in March.More details here:</p>

<p>You have shown us there is a strong demand to return to face to face tournament bridge. We all look forward to the day that can be done. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy and stay strong. </p>
