Golden Anniversary


The Opening Ceremony of the Orbis World Bridge Championships, under the patronage of Orbis Investment Management Limited and the Ministry of Tourism, Bermuda, was a stupendous affair.

Following a welcome from E. Michael Jones, the resplendent Town Crier of St. George's, the audience was entertained in splendid style by The Bermuda Regiment under the direction of Major Barrett Dill, and the spectacular dance troupe, Gombey Magic.

Master of Ceremonies David Ezekiel was the link man 'par excellence' as he introduced The Honourable Jennifer Smith, J.P. M.P. Premier of Bermuda, The Honourable Alex Scott, J.P. M.P. Acting Minister of Tourism, Geoffrey Gardner, Director, Orbis Investment Management Ltd, and Sheena Rayner, President of the Bermuda Bridge Federation.

Following an address by the President of the World Bridge Federation, José Damiani, the teams were introduced in alphabetical order.

That was followed by the formal opening of the event by the WBF President, and the unfurling of the WBF flag.

Afterwards everyone was able to partake of some spectacular Bermudan hospitality, the chocolate cake being a particular favourite!
