BRIDGE PLAYER SURVEY

The World Bridge Federation is conducting a survey exploring what types of leisure activities people do and why.

Please help us by passing it on to as many bridge players as you can so that we get as wide a representative set of view as possible. We need to hear from players at all levels and not just those participating in international events.
