Dublin South Region AGM 2024

The Dublin South Region AGM took place on Friday 24th May at Templeogue Bridge Centre, where both the Secretary and Treasurer reported on the past year's activities. In her outgoing President's report, Teresa Gavin told us how much she enjoyed her year as President and that she was delighted to see further increases in participation in DSR and CBAI events over the 2023/24 season, and noted that the Fanagan League was again a great success with 57 teams participating from 16 DSR clubs.  Teresa then handed over the President's Chain of Office to newly-elected DSR President 2024/2025, Moya Murphy.

Moya, an active member in a number Dublin South Bridge Clubs, addressed the meeting and spoke of how she is looking forward to her year and continuing the good work for the region. We wish Moya the best of luck in her Presidency for the 2024/2025 bridge season.

The officers of the Committee for 24/25 season are as follows:
