Due to some work being done at the Beaumaris Bowls Club on 15 August, our usual 10:45AM session there, will now be at 12:30PM at the Hampton RSL, 25 Holyrood Street, Hampton.  The session will run from 12:30 to 3:30PM, so no break for lunch.

There's a lovely article on our club in the latest ABF newsletter. 

You can view the full newsletter here:  https://abfevents.com.au/newsletter/August2022/#p=21

In line with the state government, we will be encouraging the wearing of masks at our games.  It’s not mandatory, but a small thing like wearing a mask can do so much to stop the spread of illness, especially in close environments.  You never know who around you might be immunocompromised.
 

A Harvard Covid study concluded the following:

“A mask helps keep the wearer from spreading airborne viruses while breathing, speaking, or coughing. Current evidence suggests that the person wearing a mask also reaps benefits, although the greatest benefit occurs when everyone wears a mask. In places where COVID-19 cases are substantial or high, wearing a mask in public indoors may help protect you and prevent spread to others. Remember, not all children are eligible for vaccines and boosters, and anyone whose immune system is compromised by illness or treatments needs to be protected from COVID-19.”

Obviously, we’ll continue to insist on sanitising at the start of each round and will keep tables as far apart as possible.

At Bayside Bridge Club, we believe in promoting our community within our community.  To this end, we have invited our members (and their families) who own businesses, to become part of our Business Directory.  That way, if a member needs a plumber, or financial advice, or their wooden floors touched up, they know that they can turn to our directory and have confidence that they are not only getting the best quality services, but that they are helping a fellow member.  There is no cost to being part of our Directory.

Independence gives East Burwood Travel the freedom to choose the best airlines and travel wholesalers for our clients needs. This means we are better placed to tailor make your holiday.

We do not have the large franchise fees and restrictions of other agency groups resulting in better prices and service for our customers.

We are so excited to announce that we will be sponsoring two programs on Golden Days Radio. 

Established in Moorabbin in 1992, GDR 95.7fm are a community radio station that “cater to the void left behind by the bittersweet feeling of nostalgia in our hearts and minds”.

They play music with a broad appeal ranging from the 1930’s to the 1980, from classical, to movies, to Broadway and good old rock ‘n roll.

We feel that there is a great synergy between ourselves and GDR, not only in demography and geography, but also in our love of community and bringing people together. 

Even more so, because two of their presenters are also members of Bayside Bridge Club. 
So, we are ecstatic to be sponsoring ‘Sunday Breakfast with Jack Saunderson’ (8am to 12midday)  and ‘Thursday Afternoon with Prudence Vernall’ (12midday to 3pm)!
 
Please tune in to Jack and Prudence and GDR generally on 95.7fm They’re also online at: https://www.mainstreamnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=gndr_fm. 

To listen to them anywhere, they have apps that you can download onto your phone, just visit their website: https://goldendaysradio.com/
 
We see this as a way to not only support a community radio station, but also an opportunity to achieve one of our primary reasons to exist –

to promote and grow the game of bridge in the Bayside community.
