Local bridge club would love to see new faces join their small group
Contributed by Martine Goedhart
IN May 2013, some members of Beerwah Golf Club and Maleny Bridge Club, considered playing bridge in the Beerwah Clubhouse after golf.
Within a week or so, they were playing social bridge there.
Within a month, sessions were being conducted every Friday and Tuesday, with players from Maleny, Caloundra and Caboolture Clubs adding to our numbers.
A committee was formed, John Marsden started his first bridge lessons for beginners and the Beerwah Bridge Club was off and running.
Being a relatively small club (as at April 2024, 46 members) the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.
Our goals are to increase the membership and to introduce people in our community to bridge, one of the most interesting card games in the world.
Living in the Glasshouse – Beerwah area you don’t have to travel far to find your bridge club.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, there’s always room to grow at Beerwah Bridge Club. Our supportive environment encourages players of all skill levels to improve and excel.
Most players have a permanent partner to play with, although a few times per year we play random pairs and team matches, with prizes for the winners, followed by wine and nibbles after the game.
Our Christmas parties are well received by our members with lunch after the Friday morning play, catered by the staff of the golf club.
Over the last few years, we have supported three children through the Smith Family, as well as sponsoring Beerwah Golf club competitions.
We welcome players of all ages. Our bridge game times are Tuesday afternoon and Friday morning.
Why should you join? “To meet new people and keep the brain active in a friendly and social environment”.
