Why do people play bridge?
Bridge is an exciting, social, and fun card game played throughout the world by over 60 million people. It can be played at any level from casual get-togethers to professional tournaments and at any age, all generations from six to 106 can play together.
In fact the four person card game, is one of the world’s most popular games, with afficionados including Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Omar Shariff, Somerset Maughan and Martina Navratilova. Warren Buffet is reported to have said he wouldn’t mind going to jail if his cell mates played bridge!
The Noosa Bridge Club is a friendly, dynamic club with lots of events and regular sessions including a Saturday session for weekday workers.
We are coming up to our 50th anniversary and the club has grown from nine members in 1977 to over 350 members now. 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 five bridge sessions per week.
We have a large number of members in their eighties and many in their 90s who play regularly and enjoy their bridge.
Noosa Bridge Club run a course of 8 weekly beginner lessons, twice a year.
The cost is $80. This beginner’s course covers the basic concepts and includes sessions of supervised play where your teacher will be available to help.
The next course starts on Monday March the 16 at the clubrooms, 3 Wallace Drive Noosaville, and we will be holding morning and evening classes to suit everyone.
