| Slightly belated December News |
Just a few things to take note of for this month as 2025 winds down. Our AGM and turkey dinner is next Monday the 15th, the AGM starts at 11:00am and the turkey dinner at noon. Come and hear how the club has fared in the past year and voice any opinions you may wish to share. Following the business side of things, the turkey dinner should be just the thing! Apparently we have a record number signed up for the dinner so it should be a really fun event.
Don’t forget we are supporting the Community Food Sharing Association again this year. Bring your donations to any game. Final date for donations will be December 19th. Thanks to Michelle for facilitating this.
Our Open Games and Duplicate Light will be ongoing apart from Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. So take a break from the turkey and come to the club! There will be Stardust points (partial gold) on Monday 15th and Thursday 18th.
Supervised play is on Christmas break and will resume in January.
Finally best wishes to all members and their families for the festive season and looking forward to new experiences and bridge related fun in 2026!
See you at the club!

After a lot of research, discussion, consultation and consideration your Board has decided unanimously to move our club operations to St. James church on Elizabeth Ave effective early February. We would like to thank all members who took the time to visit St James and send feedback to the Board. We considered each and every email carefully before making our decision. Our Search Committee also has had numerous discussions with the St James property manager based on your suggestions and has had very positive feedback. We feel this is the right move for our club and look forward to welcoming everyone to the new facility.
We will keep you updated as the transition moves forward.
