Have you heard of Le Bridgeur? The excellent French bridge magazine? Ever wished it could be in English?
Anne Gudge

In January this year under the guidance of Karine Meyer-Naudan, the daughter of Jean-Paul Meyer, the magazine Le Bridgeur, partner of FunBridge and BBO, gave itself a new identity 60 years after its creation by launching BeBRIDGE. And later this month, BeBRIDGE will launch an online English version!

BeBRIDGE aims to broaden the appeal and readership of the traditional bridge magazine by combining interesting articles about bridge events and game strategy, biographies and insights into the lives of bridge personalities with cultural and travel information about forthcoming championships and items of more general interest to everyone, even those with only a tenuous connection to bridge as a sport.

Please follow this link for an overview of the French version:

The English first issue is free of charge and can be offered as a gift to all your members. We will create and send the WBF Youth WebPage a link. In the meantime, please find attached the Press Release.

To be launched in March as an online bridge magazine, BeBRIDGE aims to widen the scope of the traditional bridge magazine by combining interesting articles about bridge events and game strategy, biographies and insights into the lives of bridge personalities with cultural and travel information about forthcoming championships and items of more general interest to everyone, even those with only a tenuous connection to bridge as a sport. With this new formula, Karine Meyer-Naudan, the daughter of Jean-Paul Meyer and now CEO of Bridgeur, promises «a real revolution in the world of bridge».
