| Feedback from "A Nod to Burns" |
♠ ♥ “A Nod to Burns” ♦ ♣
44 players enjoyed one of the bridge club social events “A Nod to Burns” which took place on the Wednesday 21st Jan 2026.
A delicious Scottish themed lunch was provided by the RRC, Christine provided a Scottish themed quiz including anagrams, the winning team Don Taylor and Andy Wilson.
Three club members Euan Duff, Andy Wilson & Brian Algar contributed poetry to toast the man himself Rabbie Burns. Brian’s contribution cleverly had a bridge theme.
Some have points and canna bid
Some that bid but shouldna
But we have points and we can bid
Sae bid a slam and be thankit
Sorry Rabbie
Scattered throughout the players were nods of Tartan with Euan in his Highland Dress of McDuff tartan.
The afternoon ended in our traditional way, with some good old bridge.

 EBU Blog report on Our Anniversary Dinner - August 2025 |
 |
|
On Wednesday 13th August 95 members and friends attended a celebratory dinner at Rockcliff Rugby Club, Whitley Bay to mark the 80th anniversary of the founding of Whitley Bay Bridge Club.
On a gloriously balmy evening canapés and champagne on the terrace preceded a three-course dinner in a spectacularly decorated clubhouse. The centrepiece of each table was one of the club’s silver trophies festooned with balloons.
The principal guest was Marion Curran the Chairman of NEBA. Marion began her Bridge career at Whitley Bay Bridge Club. Accompanying her were Sue Davies immediate Past Chairman of NEBA and Graham Cox Vice Chairman of NEBA. Both Marion and Sue gave entertaining after-dinner speeches.
The evening was a fit celebration for a club established in a founder member’s home in Post War Britain. Whitley Bay and Tynemouth Bridge Club is now a flourishing club holding 6 sessions each week.
