THE Noosa Bridge Club celebrated a special 20-year anniversary for the dedication of the Wallace Park clubhouse on Monday 4 August.
The club has been described as one of the “best bridge clubs in Australia” and judging by the 400 odd members, it’s easy to see why.
The clubhouse, which is located on Wallace Drive, combined a former church building at James Street with a modern extension in 1994.
It has since been a welcome space for the club’s members to compete and enjoy six bridge sessions per week.
And as long time member Joyce Parker mentioned; “the club has been around for a lot longer than 20 years”.
“I’ve been a member for 25 years and remember the old clubhouse at James Street,” she said.
“I think bridge is a great activity, it motivates me to socialise and to get mental stimulation.”
Noosa Council mayor Noel Playford was the guest speaker during the celebration.
Noosa Bridge Club vice-president Pam Hawkins said members contributed $8 per head, donations and raffle ticket. The total raised was $2420 which will go towards Katie Rose Cottage.
