Beginner Lessons in 2025
We have an exciting new Education Program commencing in the new year! The Beginner Lessons will be starting in the 2nd last week of January 2025. These lessons will be held in the club on Wednesday evenings (22nd ) and Friday mornings (24th) and continue for six weeks finishing at the end of February. If you know of anyone wanting to learn our “addictive” game please get them to contact our Managers -
For further details refer to our webpage through the link below.
Gift vouchers for lessons are also available for purchase from the office.
Supervised Sessions 2025
The Supervised Sessions will be taking a break over Christmas and New Year. Please rejoin the sessions when we return next year:
- Jan 29 - Dec 17 Wednesday 7pm-10pm

SUMMER FESTIVAL OF BRIDGE
The Summer Festival of Bridge to be played at the Rex Hotel and running from 7 to 19 January 2025 is fast approaching.
Once again I need volunteers of all levels as substitute players. You do not need to be available for the whole time. Even one session will be of assistance.
You may or may not be needed; but if I need you the phone call is likely to be last minute (just when you have sat down to eat your cereal or toast!!!!)
Your reward will be my gratitude and a FREE GAME with the possibility of gold or red masterpoints.
Please call me on 0450 961 935 or email me on
Thank you in advance

Lighter Moments
A woman took an afternoon nap on New Year's Eve. When she woke up, she told her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year's present. What do you think it all means?" He replied, "Aha, you'll know tonight!" At midnight, her husband handed her a small gift-wrapped present. Excited, she opened it quickly, but was even more surprised: In it was a book titled "The Meaning of Dreams".
A man asks his buddy for a cigarette. His friend quips, "I thought you made a New Year's resolution and that you don't smoke.” The man replied, "I'm in phase one of quitting." Confused, his friend asked, "Phase one?" The man laughed, "Yes. I've quit buying."
1. Youth is when you're allowed to stay up for New Year's. Middle age is when you're forced to.
2. What do New Year's parades have in common with Santa Claus? No one is ever awake to see them.
3. What is a New Year's resolution? Something that goes in one year and out the other.
4. My New Year's resolution is to see my cup half-full, preferably with rum, gin, vodka or moonshine.
5. What is the digital camera's New Year's resolution? 1080p.
6. My New Year's resolution was to drop my bad habits, but no one likes a quitter.
7. What do you call someone named Stephen on Dec. 31? New Year's Steve!
8. What do cows say on Jan. 1? "Happy Moo New Year!"
9. What's the worst part of jogging on New Year's Eve? The ice falling out of your drink!
10. What's the easiest way to keep your New Year's resolution to read more? Watch TV with subtitles.
Apart from closing on Christmas Day, the club held all bridge sessions as per usual this week. Yes the numbers were small but the competition was fierce and we played some good bridge. Thanks to all the members and Directors who have put in a special effort to make the intimate sessions fun for everyone.
Happy Holidays, hope we all have a great 2025!
