Canberra Bridge Club Calendar - 2025
The 2025 Calendar has been released and is available to be downloaded through the link below.
Key features to note:-
1. You will have more opportunities to earn Red and Gold Masterpoints next year. There will be a series of two or three week events across daytime and evening sessions earning you either Red or Gold Masterpoints. This will help you gain Masterpoint promotions more readily. And the Gold Masterpoint events will pre-qualify you for the BFACT Gala Pairs in September, which will select two of the ACT teams for the GNOT.
2. Saturday face-to-face bridge will recommence on 15 February (after the Gold Coast Congress) and will continue at least to the middle of the year. If table numbers hold up, then it will be continued on an ongoing basis.
3. The selection event for the ACT Open Team for the ANC will no longer be a three stage event. Given the number of likely contending pairs, the event will be held in one stage over an extended weekend in May.
4. Novice, restricted and improving players will have a range of specific events including:-
- Summer Festival events
- Novice and Restricted Pairs Championship, Sunday 30 March
- Three night selection event for the Canberra Bridge Club teams for the online 2024 ABF Club Teams Knockout on Monday evenings in May
- BFACT Youth Team Fundraiser, Sunday 22 June
- Teams of Three, Sunday 10 August
- Canberra in Bloom, October long weekend
- CBC Novice and Restricted Teams Championship, Saturday 15 November
5. Will’s Workshops will continue as set out in the Calendar. The Club will also offer weekday lessons for improving players, with the dates to be finalised. If you have friends wanting to learn bridge, there will be more beginners’ lessons over the year, starting in January.
