![2025 Membership Fees are due on 1 March](/images/coins.gif) A reminder to members that 2025 Membership fees are due on 1 March, $45.00 for Home Club members and $20.00 for Alternate/Associate members. Payment is preferred by EFTPOS to our bank account BSB 083 125, Account No 037384394. Home Club membership fees have had to be increased because both the Australian Bridge Federation and Bridge Victoria have increased Annual Capitation Fees payable by affiliated bridge clubs. If you are unable to pay by EFTPOS, please pay cash to Peter Barter, Treasurer. Prospective new members should apply to the Secretary, Stella Hammond, for a Membership Application form.

Bridge on Monday Public Holidays |
![Bridge on Monday Public Holidays](/images/revolving_club.gif) Several members last year asked why we don't play bridge on Monday Public Holidays. The committee discussed this last year and it was decided that we would take a 'Show of Hands' the week before as to whether we play bridge on Monday 27 January (Australia Day), Monday 10 March (Labour Day) and Monday 9 June (King's Birthday). Please note that as well as needing sufficient players to make a session worthwhile, we also need a Director and a Scorer.
