Charity Night 2025

 

Charity Night 2025

The club's Charity Night in aid of Blood Bikes East was held in St Anthony's House on Wednesday 19th March 2025.

Eithne Cullinan is a former club and committee member and is now a volunteer with Blood Bikes East gave a brief outline of the work that this charity does on a daily basis.

There was a great turnout on the night with 14 tables playing bridge. This was followed by refreshments and homemade goodies.

There were prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. 

Table money, raffle money and the donation from the club came to €1700.00.  A cheque for this amount was presented to Eithne Cullinan representing Blood Bikes East by the President Peadar Buckley and members of the committee.

GDPR and how does it affect me at SABC

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new EU regulation which came into effect on 25 May 2018.

GDPR updates existing data protection laws and places greater accountability and transparency obligations on organisations, when using a member's personal information. 

It gives the individual greater control over their personal information.

St Anthony's Hall

 

The building where we play bridge was erected in 1896 as the town hall for the township of Clontarf. The building was purchased by the parish of St. John in 1926 and converted into St. Anthony's Chapel-of-Ease to accommodate the rapidly growing parish. At this time the building received a new stone façade, in keeping with ecclesiastical buildings of its time. A new church was built to the rear in 1975 and the older building converted to a parish hall. It is believed to have been a meeting place for Easter Rising rebels. It was also used as a cinema for a time in the 1920s. The material characteristics of the church, with its ecclesiastical façade and contrasting brick side elevations express its varied past uses. The front elevation is executed in high-quality stonework, with dressed granite detailing providing a textural contrast to the rusticated granite of the walls. Its varied former uses, and prominent presence on the seafront, give it a strong social significance for the former township of Clontarf.
