Australian Masters Games White
Eagle House
The Australian Masters Games (AMG) are the largest regularly occurring multi-sport event in Australia and are expected to attract over 10,000 participants in 60+ sports. The AMG are conducted under the auspices of the Confederation of Australian Sport and held every two years. They are incorporated into the Australasian Masters Games every 4th year (next in Adelaide in 2011). This will be the first time that Bridge has been included in the AMG. The ABF and VBA have authorised the Geelong Bridge Club to conduct the seven day tournament, which will have B3 Red Point status. There are gold, silver and bronze medals for placegetters. There will be a Walk-in pairs at the Geelong Bridge Club on February 28, 2009 commencing at 12.30pm. All entries must be submitted through the Australian Masters Games. Do this online at www.AustralianMastersGames.com or ring the Games Office on 1300 725 266 to request a copy of the Games Registration Booklet and then register by post. Registrations close on 5 December 2008, after which the AMG imposes a $20 late fee on all entrants. Accommodation in Geelong is likely to be in heavy demand during the 12th AMG. Intending participants are strongly urged to register and secure accommodation as early as possible. Useful links:
