It was a pleasure to honour Sue Condos on all she has done for the bridge club over many years . Barry summed up her achievements very succinctly. We wish Sue and Peter and family all the very best.

It is with great sorrow that I convey the sad news that Janet Keenan passed away in January 2026.
Janet had bravely fought many health problems over the past 12 months.
Janet and Geoff played in our last Christmas bridge and lunch and her many friends were delighted to see her enjoying the day so much.
We extend to Geoff and Janet‘s children, Michael, Rachel and Kate our deepest sympathies.
Janet will be greatly missed by her many friends and especially her RACV bridge friends.
Rest in peace Janet.

| From the President - 2 November 2025 |
It is with great sadness that I convey to our members about the death of three very long-term members.
Wally Reid was treasurer of the RACV Bridge Club for many years, and he and Adrienne were regular players on a Wednesday.
Ross Golias will be sadly missed by us as he was such a delightful gentleman and a pleasure to know.
Trefor Morgan AO loved to play bridge twice each week and last year won The Patricia Snowden Cup.
We will miss these wonderful gentlemen and convey our condolences to their families.
On a happier note, we look forward to the RACV Club Championship Pairs being played over November. I do hope many of you will participate in this new event. Details aree available here
