| Enjoy
a winter break in the sun, with some good bridge in a friendly atmosphere
at the beautiful Corinthia Resort. This was part of the main venue for
the European Bridge Championships in June 1999. The hotel is beside the
Mediterranean Sea at St. George's Bay in St. Julians. There are many bars
and good restaurants, a modern cinema complex and a 10 pin bowling alley
all within easy walking distance.
The mid-week bridge
schedule, which is from 4.30pm allows plenty of time to explore Malta
or maybe visit Gozo, play tennis or golf at the Royal Malta Golf Club
or to generally relax and 'recharge the batteries'.
