Lennart HEIP
Belgium

Although quiet, and a person you might not expect to notice in a crowd, nevertheless he attracts your attention with his very friendly attitude and charming smile. He is always interested in others and likes to mix with people from other countries, trying all the time to make sure that they are happy and enjoying themselves. He is quite a good bridge player, but very modest about his own capabilities, and when his partner makes mistakes at the bridge table, never blames him but just tries to cheer him up. If you need someone to talk to, he is always there and willing to listen. Such friendship is valuable, such cheerfulness an enormous asset and we are so pleased to find them in the person of Lennart Heip of Belgium.

Julia KORUS
Germany

It is always pleasing when a bridge player - particularly a good one, with every chance of doing well in the Tournaments - chooses to play with younger, inexperienced players, rather than with the better participants with whom it might be possible to win. This kindness and wish to encourage and bring on the weaker players combined with a gentle and positive attitude makes this person an ideal recipient of the WBF Award. Away from the bridge table, she has also demonstrated great thoughtfulness and a caring attitude for all participants in the Camp, whatever their position, age or nationality. Young players, wishing to learn but normally afraid of the better players, can all find shelter with Julia Korus of Germany.

Stephan MAGNUSSON
Switzerland

A very positive personality, he has gained a reputation for being a well liked participant at Junior Camps. It has always been a great pleasure to have him at Junior events; this year he has risen to new heights by his great efforts to assist the organisers and ensure the smooth running of this event, but despite his work in this field he has still found the time to make good friends among the participants. He is always charming, courteous and ethical with partners and opponents alike and even when not playing bridge his calm attitude serves as an example to all. There is simply nothing separating friendliness and helpfulness on the one hand and Stephan Magnusson of Switzerland on the other.

Peter PADE
Denmark

A most welcome newcomer to the world of bridge and a real sportsman. He learned the game only six months ago when he suffered an injury at basketball. He turned to bridge valuing the social aspect of the game; he came here to make friends and became everybody's friend as a result. His kindness and amiability were seen by all as being quite remarkable. He has a wide range of interests which have served to develop in him a strength of purpose rarely seen in one of his age. Whatever you wish to talk about - history, art, social welfare and development but also sports, games and of course, bridge - he is able to contribute to the discussion in a knowledgeable way. The world of Junior Bridge is simply richer by having people like Peter Pade of Denmark. .
