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
Planning is underway for the RACV Bridge Club Christmas lunch, preceded by bridge on Wednesday 17th December 2025.
Booking for bridge and/or lunch will be done by phoning Member’s Services. Details can be seen here.
I hope to see many of you at the Christmas bridge and lunch.

Since the last committee meeting the RACV Bridge club has participated in an Interclub match with RSYTC Bridge Club . It was an opportunity for some of our newer players to compete and I was delighted that some Monday players entered.
The RACV Club very generously offered reduced price tickets for the Torvill and Dean Spectacular and many of the tickets were taken up over the three performances.
I wrote to Jane Cahir and thanked her on behalf of the club.
The RACV Club acknowledged Jo–Anne Heywood’s elevation to Grand Master status with the ABF with a presentation and drinks .
I wish to thank Barry Ballard for his added workload over the past few months. It has been greatly appreciated.
See you at the bridge table
Regards
Ronella Stuart
President
