only two days to go!

Hi Canadian bridge followers. Your 2008 Canadian Women's Bridge Team
competing in the first ever World Mind Sport Games is readying itself for
the long trek to Beijing on Wednesday, October 1st.

Just to remind you of your Canadian Women's Team members...
Pascale Gaudreault - Chicoutimi, Quebec
Martine Lacroix - Montreal, Quebec
Pamela Nisbet - Ottawa, Ontario
Karen Kumpstone - Nanaimo, B.C.
Kismet Fung - Edmonton, Alberta
Susan Culham - Edmonton, Alberta
John Rayner (NPC) - Mississauga, Ontario
This is truly a pan-Canadian team.

I hope to report back to our Canadian supporters on a daily basis
upon arrival in Beijing.
Your team has worked hard over the past few months preparing
for this tournament and has every expectation of success at the
bridge table. I know that these six ladies will represent Canada
with class.

We hope you choose to follow our story.
