Hetta vikuskiftið er Tórshavn Bridgefestival í Dansifrøi í Havn. 60 pør kappast í ár og er stórur partur av hesum útlendingar. Heidi Lava Elgeirsdóttir, forkvinna í mentamálanevnd Tórshavnar Býráðs, setti kappingina.
Við endamálinum at stuðla uppundir eina endurbøtandi – regenerativa – ferðavinnu, fáa allir luttakarar í ár møguleikan at gera klárt at seta einar 500 stiklingar av føroyskum pálmapíli niður og á tann hátt fáa ein lítlan leiklut í at bøta um føroysku náttúruna, meðan tey vitja í Føroyum.
Í røðuni legði forkvinnan dent á týdningin av samstarvi – bæði í bridge og í lívinum annars:
“I think that bridge is a great and healthy metaphor for our society and a lovely family life.
Firstly, it is very important to have a good partner who knows what you are thinking without you having to say a word.
Secondly, you need patience—very good patience. You have to accept that things won’t always go your way, and sometimes everything works out exactly as you had hoped and planned. In both cases, it is important to have a shoulder to lean on or a friend to celebrate with.
The last thing is the ranking in bridge.
There is something better and higher than the king. We all need an ace or two in our lives and feel joyful when we have them close to our hearts.
Bridge is a brain sport for life, and we are grateful to have this fantastic festival in Tórshavn. Thank you, Jákup Sørensen, and the Bridge association for making this possible.”
