    PROMOTING the GAME of BRIDGE in SOUTH AFRICA THE BRIDGE Edition 13 Publisher: The S A B F December 2020 www.sabf.co.za Special Year-End Edition Ed.: Stephen Rosenberg [email protected] FROM THE PRESIDENT This year has been a very hard and sad year for our community. Many of us have lost family or friends, not always as a result of COVID-19, and our hearts go out to them and their families. And still this accursed plague hangs over us. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. With the announcement of the development of successful vaccines and their distribution in Europe and America over the coming James Grant months we will surely see a reduction in and eventually the eradication of this pandemic. The next few months are going to be the most trying for us, because we are letting our guard down not only as individuals but as a society. We have grown tired of the sanctions imposed on us and are now taking more risks. We are travelling more, we are visiting friends and families. Fewer people are wearing masks in public places, social distancing is no longer the norm, and we have convinced ourselves that perhaps after all we are immune to this infection. We only have to follow what is now happening in Europe to see the folly in this outlook. Personally, I would like to think that COVID-19 has forced us re-evaluate what is really important in our lives and those around us and that when we finally emerge from this trauma that has paralysed us as individuals and as a nation we will do so as a society kinder and less selfish than before, if only for a little time.
