The BFACT Gala Pairs was played on Saturday 10 August.

Congratulations to our members who took part:

Australia Wide Open Pairs

 

We are hosting a session of the Australia Wide Open Pairs on Wednesday evening  28 August.

All players pay normal table money. The special entry fee for this event will be paid by South Canberra.

The Australia-Wide Open Pairs is run by Australian Bridge Magazine.

  • The event has a rich history that goes back more than 40 years, bringing together thousands of players from all around the country.
  • Each player will receive a souvenir booklet on the day, describing ABM's recommendations for how the bidding and play should have gone.
  • After the results are in, there will also be a second personalised booklet available on the AWP web page, looking at every board to see how your bidding and play compares against our recommended results.
  • Several prizes are awarded. A promotional brochure including prizes information is here.
