  • Let's Have a Party!
    Co-ordinator: Jean Paul Meyer Editor: Mark Horton Issue: 1 Ass. Editors: Brent Manley, Brian Senior Layout Editor: Stelios Hatzidakis Sunday 27, August 2000 Let’s have a party! It was a magical evening – figuratively and literal- ly – as the 11th World Teams Bridge Olympiad cel- ebrated opening night in spectacular fashion at the Theater aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht city center. "Let's have a party!" cried magician Richard Ross as he stood on stage with WBF President José Damiani and Deputy Prime Minister An- nemarie Jorritsma-Lebbink, both covered in streamers and confetti, the climax of a celebra- tion witnessed by hundreds of competitors and throngs of organizers. Ross had opened the evening in disguise as part of a skit which ended with the WBF flag in posi- tion at the back of the stage. Ross followed Harry van de Peppel, chairman of the Dutch organizing committee, and displayed his sleight-of-hand magic - including several card tricks – between each of the opening-night speakers. As Damiani took the podium near the end, he remarked about Ross: "I definitely refuse to play rubber bridge with that guy." Damiani noted that the Olympiad was played 20 years ago in Limburg, the Dutch province of which Maastricht is the capital. In fact, two of the competitors at Valkenburg in 1980 will compete again in Maastricht: the Netherlands' Anton Maas, who earned a bronze medal, and France's Paul Chemla, who won the gold. "The history of bridge is being rewritten," Damiani said, reading a letter from Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the Inter- national Olympic Committee.
