The Ingham Bridge Club boasts a membership of 44 players. It is regarded as a very friendly yet competitive club. Members also compete in Congresses throughout the northern region and in Australia-wide competitions.
Bridge becomes a lifelong passion for many. Whether you want to play socially, be more competitive, or try to be the best in the world, it’s a game to fill your aspirations.
Bridge has enthralled some of the greatest minds in history – Bill Gates, Omar Sharif, Mahatma Gandhi, and even Snoopy are fans of bridge. Maybe you should be too!
The Club offers Beginner Lessons and holds weekly sessions on a Tuesday evening and a Friday morning for novices and experienced players alike.
“I’ve been playing for more than 30 years,” said Nella Albrecht. “I love the game and I still learn something new every week.”
New member Debbie Walker said, “Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming and being involved in learning and playing, I have made many new friends.”
Gloria Butler commented, “Although Bridge is a serious game, there are lots of laughs, bus trips to Tully and Townsville clubs for a friendly game – and the thrill of having a win now and again! I’m so glad I learnt how to play.”
Why don’t you join in and learn to play? Come along to a Beginner’s Lesson commencing tonight Tuesday, 8th July at 6:30pm at the Ingham Bowls Club.
