As we warmly welcome back bridge card players for the new year, we embrace a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and invite new enthusiasts to join our vibrant community. This new beginning encourages all players—whether seasoned veterans or curious beginners—to come together in a spirit of camaraderie and shared passion for this timeless game. Each gathering offers a chance to sharpen strategic thinking, refine gameplay skills, and engage in friendly, stimulating competition that challenges the intellect while fostering social bonds. Our bridge community thrives on collaboration, mutual respect, and continuous learning, making every session not just a test of skill but a meaningful experience of connection and enjoyment. As we embark on this year’s journey at the bridge table, let us commit to nurturing enthusiasm, supporting one another’s growth, and creating lasting memories through each hand played. Together, we look forward to a year filled with engaging play, personal improvement, and the joy that only bridge can bring.

Our first game in the New Year is this Wed 7 January. Please be seated by 12:15 for a 12:30 Start.

Look forward to seeing you!
