Welcome to Orange
On behalf of the ABF, I welcome you to Orange, New
South Wales for the 84th Australian National
Championships. Orange is a thriving country town rich
in heritage and has award-winning restaurants, and
wineries. I know I will see many changes since my last
visit in 1978.
Congratulations to the Orange Bridge Club and the
ANC commitee for the many hours of work that they
have put into the planning of this event. I am conodent
that all players will ensure that the event is an enjoyable
experience for both their partner and the opposition.

It is an exciting time for Bridge in NSW as the 84th
Australian National Championships comes to the
beautiful City of Orange. 2024 also sees the
Leadership of Bridge in NSW migrating from
NSW Bridge Association to Bridge NSW Limited
(BNSW). BNSW principal focus will be Bridge in
our State, and particularly the Central West
Festival as one of its early priorities.
We wish all the Players, Oïcials and Orange
Bridge Community an outstanding 84th ANC.
