Nestled among the magnificent gum trees and spectacular views of beautiful Dandenong Ranges, Upwey Bridge Club is affiliated with the Australian Bridge Federation of Australia.  Our club rooms are spacious and overlook the lush grounds of the Upwey/Tecoma Football and Cricket Club.  Free parking is available and the Club is near public transport.

We run duplicate bridge on Tuesday mornings all year round and visitors are very warmly welcomed.  Both green and red point events are run, with table fees of $5 for members and $7 for non members. Membership fees are $50 annually for full membership and $25 for associates.   If you need a partner we'll do our very best to find one for you so don't hesitate to reach out.

Watch out for our Special Events throughout the year - lots of fun on top of great bridge - we look forward to welcoming you!

The running of the most recent Knox-Upwey Interclub event over Caulfield Cup weekend couldn't have been more hotly contested, with Upwey winning by the slenderest margin of 2 match points, or in horse racing parlance, "a short half head"!  A wonderful day put on by the Knox Club, capped off by a splendid afternoon tea - congratulations to Barbara, Stella, Jennie, Joan and the whole team who were such generous hosts as always.

The bridge was challenging with close scores.  Upwey pair Robyn Kimpton and Anne West on 246 took the North-South honours, ahead of Knox team of Ian Wright and Christine Parkin on 233.  And a "nose" behind on 232 were Lawna Monks and John Ritchie from Upwey.  Over on the East-West side, Sam Halvorsen and Clare Stratton streaked ahead of the field with a cracking score of 294, with Upwey pair of Fran Kerlin and Julie Day coming in second on 259, followed home by Ethel and Carl Davids, also from Upwey on 236.

Both Clubs look forward to re-engaging in 2027 - the dates are already set in May (Upwey) and October (Knox) and players are raring to go!!  Thanks again to Knox for a great day.

The Race That Stops the Nation is fast approaching and so is the Upwey Bridge Club's "HATS, HORSES & HOT BRIDGE" day - Tuesday 3rd November.

Frock up!! - dust off those fascinators, broad brim hats and everything sequins and boas!  Our Cup Day celebrations are set to take off this year with prizes for best dressed players, best hats (gents and ladies!!), a fun horse racing trivia competition and the always popular sweep. Raid your piggy banks for $1 and $2 coins, pour over those Melbourne Cup guides and come prepared to take a punt in the Cup Sweeps.

We'll have some lucky door prizes and even a mocktail or two over a delicious morning tea chock-full of Melbourne Cup delights!!

Put the date in your diary so you don't miss this one.....

2027 will be Upwey Bridge Club's 25th Anniversary and it's been a fascinating journey researching the Club's history.  Founded by Dennis Ansell in October 2002, the Club started its beginner's lessons by advertising in libraries, shop windows and inaugural sessions were held in Burrinja, previously the Sherbrooke Shire Offices!  Many of those reading this will know the legendary Martin Wilcox who provided all the equipment!  After a couple of years, the Club moved to the Upwey-Tecoma Bowls Club where bridge continued for some years.  In more recent times the Club outgrew those premises and expanded into the Upwey-Tecoma Football and Cricket Club which is its current home.

As its anniversary year fast approaches, the Club is planning some exciting events as part of its celebrations so watch this space!
