60th Celebration Party

West Midlands Bridge Club celebrated its 60th anniversary in style last Saturday. The bridge  rooms were full to capacity with an enthusiastic crowd who enjoyed following the red, black and white dress code with some spectacular outfits.

Our entertainments MC Anne O’Grady and her intrepid team of helpers filled the club with balloons and bunting to give a festive atmosphere, music from the 60s played, and everyone enjoyed not only the bridge but also a delicious buffet supper and lots of games including stand-up sit-down bingo and Pictogram.
Many thanks to everyone who joined in in such an enthusiastic manner and special congratulations to the winners: Mark Johnson and Penny Dawson, David Harris and Andrew Croombes, and in the less experienced players’ room Vicky Milne and Susan Dobson, Rachel Cooper and April Simmons, Andrew Freeman and Diana Freeman. 


Well done to all and Happy Anniversary to all our loyal members!
