THE Cancer Research Campaign's national Bridge-A-Thon 1996 is fast approaching and I am appealing to readers to help make this year's event a huge success.

Everyone interested can take part by registering now and simply picking a day or evening during the month of May and playing duplicate bridge with their friends and family.

Contact Tracy Cooper, the Cancer Research Campaign's national sports and youth events manager at 10 Cambridge Terrace, London NW1 4JL, (0171 224 1333).
