The President reported the Bungendore Bridge Club recently affiliated with BFACT which now has eight clubs under its umbrella.   On 1 November we were delighted to welcome Wendy Boxall and her partner, Julia Hoffman to our Saturday session.   They came bearing gifts of some beautiful playing cards which will be a useful replacement for some of our ‘stickier’ ones.

"Do You want to stay mentally active? Do you want to be able to concentrate and focus over  an extended period of time?

Members of the Bungendore Bridge want to and practice the skills of reasoning, memory and planning for three hours each week. 

It all began in early 2002 when bridge lessons were first organized in Bungendore.

The Bungendore Bridge Club held their AGM on December 15th 2023 at the School of Arts Bungendore.

Margaret Gilligan, President, reported that in the last year, the Club had relocated to the Bungendore School of Arts building, due mainly to the increased cost of the Council Community Hall. QPRC had also flagged their intention to close the Community Hall in the future.

The BBC is celebrating its 21st year of operation in 2022 and has grown since the early days. We regularly have twenty members playing each week.
