Bridge Club Live is 
        delighted to announce a partnership agreement with the Australian Bridge 
        Federation (ABF). In addition to the English Bridge Union 
        (EBU), the ABF becomes the second national bridge organization to recognize the 
        real value to its members of joining Bridge Club Live. 
        As part of the agreement, ABF members get 
        a special discount off normal subscription rates and pay just AUD $119 
        for annual membership. To commemorate this partnership, Bridge Club Live 
        is offering Founder Member status to the first 250 ABF members who sign 
        up for the full annual membership. Founder members will also get an 
        extra three months free membership and an additional 10% lifetime 
        discount. 
        Dennis Yovich, ABF Secretary: "We were 
        impressed by the user-friendly interface coupled with a real friendly 
        spirit in the club and we have heard positive feedback from members and 
        the EBU". 
        Nick Justice, Bridge Club Live Managing 
        Director: "We are delighted to put pen to paper and look forward to 
        welcoming lots of Australians into our international club. Our goal is 
        to provide fast, fun and friendly online bridge and we are especially 
        keen on providing a pleasant enjoyable experience to our members, 
        whatever their standard". 
        Po Shing Lee, Bridge Club Live Operations 
        Director: "Starting from 11th July 2004, we will have two special events 
        where ABF members can earn ABF green master points. On Sundays, we will 
        have a Pairs Tournament which will be an 18 to 21 board duplicate 
        starting at 8pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. Then on Wednesdays, we 
        will have a Daily Tourney which will be a 12 board duplicate again 
        starting at 8pm EST. As we continue to grow, we will be arranging more 
        events especially for our ABF members. Personally, I am especially 
        looking forward to organizing some special events to see whether 
        Australians or the English play better bridge!"
