| Welcome to Bendigo Bridge Club |
Bendigo is located in Central Victoria, 150kms north of Melbourne. The city grew from one of the major gold rush settlements in Victoria in the 1850s. The modern city benefits from the riches of its past, with beautiful heritage buildings and expansive parks. It has an enviable arts and cultural precinct and a wide range of eating and dining establishments.
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 three open duplicate bridge tournaments every week plus a relaxed (social) play session, providing all our members with the opportunity to enjoy playing bridge with friends.
Visitors and guests are most welcome provided they comply with current Covid-safety regulations.

| Interclub Winners |
Congratulations winning in a small but competitive field! "We went to Shepparton today for the inter club teams event between Echuca, Shepparton and Bendigo. It was the first time Bendigo was invited. Elizabeth Ranson and myself teamed with Peter and Jennifer Goddard, won the day and got to bring home their perpetual trophy until next year." - Vicki Banko
