Bridge Club

The Bridgetown Bridge Club meets every Wednesday afternoon from 1pm to 4pm in the St Paul’s Anglican Church Hall in Phillips Street.

“We have recently changed our meeting times to an afternoon slot which certainly suits Bridgetown’s winter months. The church hall is heated and is a very suitable venue for the bridge club,” club President Patrica Rodgers explains.

“We are a small, friendly group and welcome new and experienced players to join us.

“The cost for the afternoon is $4 and includes an afternoon tea of tea, coffee and biscuits.

“Playing the game of Bridge has many benefits, it is very good for mental health, it’s a game which stimulates memory and is also a very enjoyable social afternoon out.”

The Bridgetown Bridge Club is an affiliated club with the Bridge Association of WA (BAWA) which allows club members in Bridgetown to play in other affiliated clubs in towns such as Mandurah and Bunbury. The club in Bridgetown regularly has players from the nearby towns of Pemberton and Manjimup.

Each time a player plays in an affiliated club they gain Master Points. The Master Point Scheme is intended to stimulate interest in the game and provide a means of measuring player achievements.

Patricia concludes, “Playing bridge is like going to a mind gym, you will make new friends, enrich your social life and have serious fun and perhaps become addicted to the world’s most popular card game.

“The game of Bridge is a difficult game to learn, but we can assist less experienced players to learn the basics.

“Bridge is a popular game and there are many on-line and library resources available for a keen person to use.”
