Dear Friends, wishing you all a very Happy Diwali!
The Bridge Federation of India has conceived a simple yet meaningful outreach initiative to create greater awareness of Bridge and introduce this wonderful mind sport to people across the country. Our objective is to encourage every member of the Bridge fraternity to participate in this nationwide effort.
1. Spread the word about Bridge — introduce the game to friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances, and encourage them to explore the BFI website. New players can register through the free Provisional Registration: bfi.net.in/get-your-bfi-id
2. Volunteer as a mentor — every new learner can connect with an online mentor who guides them through the fundamentals, from Novice to Beginner level. Once the mentor feels the mentee has enough basic knowledge, the learner continues independently.
3. Connect with State Associations and local clubs — we hope learners will join their State Bridge Associations, play in local clubs and online events, and become active members of the Indian Bridge fraternity.
4. Opportunities for advanced learning — experienced players willing to coach, voluntarily or professionally, can connect with learners who wish to improve further.
5. Special focus on young players — youngsters showing interest and potential will receive dedicated guidance and coaching through the BFI Junior Development Programme.
Our collective mission: every player can introduce someone to Bridge. Every experienced player can become a mentor. Every new learner represents the future of Indian Bridge. We appeal to all players, State Associations and clubs to support this initiative and spread the message widely. Together, let us take Bridge to every corner of India.
Warm regards, Prasad Keni (President), Bridge Federation of India
