For various months, the ARNB Board of Directors has been studying the possibility of taking responsibility for the operation of the bridge center which now is in the hands of John Mac Gregor’s club, Tres Sin Triunfo. After studying the financial situation of the club, Tres Sin Triunfo and of the ARNB, the projections of growth of the bridge center and of bridge in Costa Rica; as well studying the possibilities of marketing and operating strategies, the Board has concluded that this venture can be undertaken by the ARNB, for the benefit of its members, without interfering with legal conditions and the actual finances of the same. In this Meeting the approval of this motion by the members is sought, giving approval to the Board to negotiate with John Mac Gregor in the name of the ARNB, with the intention of reaching an accord whereby the Asociation assumes responsibility for operating the bridge center as the general headquarters of the ARNB and the center for playing [bridge].
