| Welcome to the Bendigo Bridge Club |
Bendigo is situated 140kms north of Melbourne. The city grew from one of the major gold rush towns of Victoria from the 1850s to the present day. The modern city benefits from the riches of its past glory, with beautiful heritage buidlings, expansive parks, a wide range of eating and dining establishments, and an enviable art and culture precinct.
The Bendigo Bridge Club was established in 1979. The club is affiliated with the Victorian Bridge Association (VBA) and the Australian Bridge Federation (Club 3315). The club is also a member of the Victorian Northern Region Bridge Association, and fully supports all bridge events conducted by the Region and the clubs within the Region.
Bendigo Bridge Club conducts 5 duplicate bridge open tournaments every week, and a relaxed play tournament session to provide all members the opportunity to enjoy playing bridge with friends.
Due to COVID restrictions we are currently not allowing visitors to play in face to face tournaments at our premises, but we look forward to the time when we can again offer a warm country welcome to visitors of all playing standards. More...

| Tuesday Evening Bridge - Bad News, Good News! |
First, the bad news - the Tuesday evening BBO sessions have been cancelled due to lack of demand. With insufficient player numbers for viable matchpoint play it isn't worth continuing the sessions.
Now The Good News! Tuesday Evening face-to-face Club Pairs is returning in March! And it will have a new venue, tranferring from Chum Street to our home base at Long Gully Community Centre.
Pre-Covid this session was very popular. We hope that all the old regulars will return and that any disappointed BBO players will switch to the f2f format - it's more fun!
Jennifer Goddard will be your regular director. The first session will be on Tue 23rd March at 7 pm. Please book using the club calendar.

| Stage 4 Covid Restrictions Lifted! |
The Victorian government has announced that the snap lockdown restrictions that came into force on Friday 12 February will cease at 11.59pm on Wednesday 17 February 2021.
This means that our face-to-face sessions can resume, starting with the Club Pairs event scheduled for Friday 19 February.
LGCC have confirmed that the social distancing and Covid-safe restrictions that were in place prior to the snap lockdown are unchanged, so please arrive early to allow for registration and temperature checks, and follow the Covid-safe practices that were introduced in January.
Hopefully, further lockdowns will not be neccessary so please book ahead for future sessions as normal but be aware that the situation can change rapidly.
Please keep an eye on our website for the latest information.
