Josh Heller  

Niek BRINK
The Netherlands

First comes a player who stands out because he always has a smile on his face. He plays with partners of all ranks, and though he is a fine player he does not show his superiority at the table. Since his first appearance, he has adopted the Camp spirit and worked for its success, whether by participating, helping fellow Juniors or giving a hand (bridge or otherwise) to the organizers. He is friendly to everyone, generous, and popular. For all these reasons, we are very pleased to honour Niek Brink.


Monika Miroslaw  

Kostas KOUSSIS
Greece

The fans of our second award winner say that he is always happy and understanding at the Bridge table, even when his partner does not live up to expectations. As a player, he is good; as a Camper, he is superior and has demonstrated repeatedly that he has the right youth spirit. You will always find him mixing with people from other countries, having a good time, and ensuring that they do too. Moreover he is always ready to help anyone who is experiencing a problem. Well done Kostas Koussis.

Daniel MOGILNICKI
Poland

We are very pleased to be able to pick our third candidate because he has been a tower of strength - not just at the Bridge table but especially away from it. At any event there are problems, but our third honouree was always ready to help either doing the job himself or finding the right man for the job, and he was always around even at unpopular times of day and night. He was a moving spirit and motivator amongst the participants - a proof that he has thrown himself into the camp activities with great enthusiasm. Step forward Daniel Mogilnicki.


Thomas Schonfeldt  

Ophir RESHEF
Israel

Our fourth and final award goes to a player who is always ready to play any game - whatever the time of day or night - if this would please other people. He is a regular visitor to the Bulletin Room with stories of other people's achievements, and encourages his fellow campers to play well and have a good time. He has been an enthusiastic camp supporter from the very beginning; not only did he come back at all occasions but, together with his friends, he acted as an ambassador of Junior bridge in his country, ensuring that many more Juniors share his camp experiences. Congratulations Ophir Reshef.
