Bridge - Come & Try Morning

At the Neighbourhood Centre, we love bringing people together to share interests and build community connections. Recently, we received a question about whether there are any Bridge Clubs in the Burdekin area. As far as we know, there aren't any local groups, but we thought it would be a great idea to see if there's interest in starting one!

The question was posed by Sylvia, who has been visiting the Burdekin for 17 years. She recently moved here from Northern NSW to be closer to her family. In her previous hometown, she started a successful Bridge Group that is still thriving today.  

When we asked Sylvia why she enjoys Bridge, she said, “It's a game with numbers – it keeps my brain active. You either can’t do it, or you are totally addicted. Bridge Players are a bit like Golf Players, you arrive in town and ring up to see if you can get a ‘game in’,” she added.

Sylvia is eager to teach anyone interested in learning how to play Bridge or connect with any Burdekin Bridge Players, and we’re excited to help make that happen.

Is your interest piqued? Grab a mate and come on down to the Centre:

What: Bridge
When: Tuesday, 28th January 2025  
Time:  9:30am–11:30am  
Where: Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre, 40 Chippendale Street, AYR

Come meet Sylvia, learn about Bridge, and chat about getting a group up and running.

We know that social connections are important for our well-being. Learning new things keeps us sharp and engaged, and being active in the community helps us feel connected to one another. Who knows, you might just make a new friend across the Bridge table.

We invite individuals of all experience levels; your participation, whether as a novice or an experienced player, would be warmly welcomed. Thank you for considering this opportunity, and we look forward to your participation.

Until Next Time
