Towards the end of 1982, Ruth and Eugene Lumbers started up a private bridge club, called the Mollymook Bridge Club, and the first duplicate bridge game was held at the Mollymook Beach Bowling Club, in early October 1982. In the early years, the club ran two sessions, one at the Mollymook Bowling Club, on Wednesday morning, at 09:30 (with around four tables) and the second, at the Sarah Claydon Retirement Village, on a Thursday night, starting at 7:30 pm (with around two tables). Both sessions ran for three hours. On June 21, 1985 Mollymook Bridge Club was granted affiliation with the Australian Bridge Federation, and around this time, the Wednesday morning session was moved to the Mollymook Surf Live Saving Club. By this time the club was averaging around seven tables on the Wednesday morning and around four tables on the Thursday night. You can download the detailed history here.
