Welcome note from The
Right Honourable The Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Pat McCarthy.
 On
behalf of the city of Belfast, I am pleased to invite you to the 2006
Women’s World Open Squash Championships.
Belfast City Council is proud to support the Championships and is
delighted to be working in partnership with the tournament organisers to
bring this prestigious event to the city.
The Ulster Hall, which was built in 1862, is one of the oldest
buildings owned by the Council and will provide an excellent location for
the final rounds of the competition.
The Women’s World Open Championship promises to be an exciting event,
with Northern Ireland’s Madeline Perry amongst the leading competitors. I
am sure that local support will be a source of much encouragement in her
quest to secure this title.
 I
hope that you find time to visit and sample the delights which our
wonderful city has to offer, including its famous night life, diverse
selection of restaurants and vibrant arts sector.
LORD MAYOR |
