In 1996, our founder Ron Young, identified a need for bridge players to enjoy the game in a less formal environment.   Ron approached the then RSL Club and found that they were willing to sponsor a new Intra-club.

The Nelson Bay Diggers Social Bridge Club was formed in April 1997, with around 60 members.  Ron's Golden Rule was: "that no person will say or do anything which will cause another person to be uncomfortable", and we still operate under that motto. 

Wests Nelson Bay Diggers Club has continued the sponsorship.  The Silver Anniversary of the Bridge Club was celebrated in April 2022 by the majority of the current membership of almost 100.

Sadly, Ron Young passed away in June 2023.   However, his legacy lives on in the Port Stephens community.
