On Sunday 11 August a small army of volunteers turned up to repaint the club rooms. A big thank you to both Peter Clarke and Bruce Avery for suggesting, organising and working on this project, we hope you will all agree, it looks amazing!! 

 This would not have been possible without the volunteers who turned up to help, some of whom are not even members of the club. Nicky Avery, Belinda Barton, Peter Barton, Jan Clarke, Peter Deed, Lee Duncombe, Sid Eschenbach, Judy McDonald, Cyd Ross, Neil Van Oosterom, Helen Pelosi for her morning tea and Helve Beale who provided an amazing lunch for the workers.  Other members had left goodies for morning tea. Thank you, it was very much appreciated.

 Also a big thank you to the original members who worked on both finding, buying and painting our club rooms 7 years ago, TBC has come so far thanks to you.  I hope you all enjoy the new look, thanks again to all involved, previously and today.

On Sunday 3 August the GNOT Regional Finals were held at the Newcastle Bridge Club. 

Two teams represented TBC with the Clarke team taking 3rd place out of 24 teams! This team will now take part in the National Finals playing online later in September.

On Friday 5 April the Club held the annual John Linehan Friendship competition which is held in memory of John Linehan, a club member who is no longer with us.

Novice players are paired with more experienced players and we had a great afternoon with 21 pairs entered.

The winners of the trophy for 2024 were Bruce Avery and Ted Tait - congratulations! Pictured are the winners and players socialising after the game.

On Saturday 6 April, the Club bid farewell to Margaret Somers who is moving away from Toronto to be closer to her family.

Margaret's good friend and bridge partner, Josie O'Donnell, gave a lovely tribute to her friend and said she had never heard Margaret say a bad word about anyone. Margaret started a social bridge game she and her friends still play on Wednesdays. She joined TBC in 2018 having been a member of the Charlestown Bridge Club previously.

We wish Margaret the best of luck with her move and we shall miss her.

Lots of fun and games at Friday's Bridge Session, thanks to Kerrie Stien and Heather Spencer for organising the day

Congratulations to Pam Ingham and Ted Tait who won the 2024 Autumn Pairs Competition out of a field of 15 pairs.
