Panos PAPADOPOULOS
Greece
This is the second Camp for Panos Papadopoulos, 21, a man with an immediate friendliness and openness towards even the most complete stranger. This allows him to mix easily with people of every nationality. Any disaster at the bridge table is met as readily with his engaging smile as success, and he always has a cheering word for partner. He is a member of one of the largest contigents here, but the personality of Panos Papadopoulos of Greece stands out. |

Marco PENGOV
France
Marco Pengov, 24, is a man with strength, yet a gentle and ready humour. His determination in attending three Camps has surmounted many obstacles. He shows an interest in all other nationalities. If you ask for his assistance you can be sure that nothing is too much trouble. And even if you do not ask, you can expect an offer. His age prevents him from attending the next Camp as a Junior. His solo performance at the show in Fiesch was memorable, so we are glad he could stay until the end: to achieve this he persuaded the army to change the time of his return. Our hearts are heavy when we say farewell to Marco Pengov of France. |

Brian POWELL
Great Britain
Brian Powell, 23, is the only representative of his country, and showed considerable initiative in getting here. In a quiet way, and with humour, he has become someone everyone knows, testifying to his ability to make friends with all nationalities, and every type of character. He is a good bridge player who will happily partner the less experienced players and make them feel at ease. We think it is difficult to find a better ambassador for junior bridge than Brian Powell of Great Britain. |

Ruth SORRELL
Israel
Ruth Sorrell, 22, has a gentle, quiet, almost shy demeanour which hides a strong determination to help others. She volunteered, unprompted, to assist the Bulletin Editor and then worked enthusiastically for hours. When she came to the Camp in Poland she was a pioneer for her country, surmounting the advice of some who thought the Camp was only for the expert player. She won our hearts then with her charm and helpfulness, and retains our affection now. Just as she always shows an interest in other people, we hope the bridge world will now note the great qualities in the character of Ruth Sorrell of Israel. |
