  • President's Report
    EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING Chennai, 28th September– 2nd October 2015 PRESIDENT’S REPORT Dear Friends, Also this year I have to start my report honouring the memory of great friends of us who sadly and in some cases suddenly passed away. Al of you are already aware of the passing of Ernesto d’Orsi and Jean-Claude Beineix and I have already reported at the meetings both of the Officers in New Orleans and of the Management Committee in Lucignano. It seems to me due today remember them that in the last meeting of the Executive Committee, hold in Sanya, were seated with us at this table. Looking at the picture of the Honour Committee members taken in Sanya, it is still very difficult to me to accept that they are no more with us. Consent to me to officially repeat in this report at the Executive Council that Jean-Claude and Ernesto were two pillars of the WBF organisation. Ernesto was one of the most eminent personalities in the history of bridge over the last forty years: an essential point of reference, who represented, with his advice and his suggestions, a sort of “permanent school” for everybody. Jean-Claude was an authoritative member of the Executive Council for ten years up to 2003, but since then has continued to serve the WBF with competence, passion and dedication at the Championships and also as Chairman for the delicate sector of the organisation of the Tournament Directors. Ernesto and Jean-Claude were great friends of us all and their memory will accompany us and all their bridge friends everywhere in the world for the rest of our lives.
