New Editor: Bridge Canada

At the recent CBF Board of Directors meetings in Toronto it was agreed that the job of editing and publishing our national magazine Bridge Canada would now be divided between two people, a Managing Editor (Neil Kimelman) and a Publishing Editor (Jude Goodwin). "This is fantastic" said Jude Goodwin. "It will give me a lot more time to focus on the layout and photos in the magazine, and with Neil on board, our content will will continue to become more and more high-quality." Since the magazine went digital a few years ago, Goodwin has been making changes, including the introduction of full colour. "The response to our new look has been very encouraging." Goodwin notes.  Journalists and photographers are invited to submit bridge stories, news and content to Neil Kimelman at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
