A Formidable Alliance – Curtain Raiser on Madurai

V N Ramamoorthy

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Madurai - the name itself is synonymous with culture, history, civilization, chivalry and challenge!

The city was put firmly on the Bridge map of the country by Late RR ( R. Ratnam of TVS family). The ever benevolent, philanthropic and industrious RR converted a bridge tournament to a "Bridge Festival"!

In the 70's and 80's Madurai - TVS bridge festival was made a Hallmark in the bridge calendar. RR set the standards and quality so high that no bridge player worth his salt could say "Pass" to the Madurai event.

50 years down, a formidable combo of HCL & TNBA have come together to "Bridge the Gap", so to speak. From 28-30 July, HCL will be sponsoring the Tamil Nadu State Championships, which will be conducted in Madurai.

Come July, an army of Bridge players will march to Madurai, I am sure. They will be bidding to the hilt for the coveted places on the podium!

It is always hot in Madurai - it will get hotter at the end of July with the intense heat of competition brought to the tables.

Let us pray and hope that this impending alliance of HCL - TNBA will set new and higher standards.

If they surpass "RR standards", I am sure he will only be happy and smiling, because he sowed the seed first.

The onus is on us, bridge mates!

Get ready to March towards Madurai 😍

Cheers and Happy Bridging

VNR
