Thank You

It is customary for the Bulletin Editor to thank various people in the final Bulletin and I am very happy to keep up the tradition as, without many people's contributions, the Daily Bulletin could not exist.

Peter Gill

Firstly, John Neville and the EBU Main Office staff have been working away on the photocopying every evening long after we journalists have gone home. They have had to work under trying circumstances at times - is it really beyond the wit of man to create a photocopier that can last for ten days without a major breakdown? The fact that the Bulletin has always been available when you arrive each morning is a testament to their hard work.

My co-editor, Peter Gill, is not so much a disaster waiting to happen as an on-going disaster area who should have some kind of government health warning branded on his forehead. However, joking aside, it has been a pleasure to work with someone who works so hard and has such interest in and knowledge of Junior Bridge.

George Hatzidakis

The two Georges, Hadzidakis the layout editor and Georgopoulos the internet editor, are nice guys who work very well together and put up with the editor's eccentricities with good humour. From what I have seen and heard over the last week or so their taste in women is infinitely better than their taste in music ( an art form that does not appear to exist in Greece if what they play is anything to go by).

The Bulletin would have been much less interesting without the much-appreciated contributions made by various independent journalists, including Kees Tammens, Michael Rosenblum and Christer Andersson, not to forget the information passed on to us by vugraph commentator, Barry Rigal. Incidentally, have you considered just how tough it is to commentate on every single match throughout the tournament without taking a single round off? Well done Barry and Chris.

Finally, thank you to the many players, captains and coaches who brought us good stories, often their own disasters. Your willingness to make yourself look silly is one of the things that makes a Junior Championship such a pleasure to work at. I hope I will see many of you in Beijing next year.
