The Mackay Regional Council-sponsored Australia Day “Come and Try Bridge Day” was a great success. Members and enthusiastic community participants gathered to enjoy morning tea, a sausage lunch and a wonderful day filled with cards and friendship. President Frances Brown expressed her delight at the strong turnout and encouraged attendees, as well as anyone interested in learning Bridge, to join the beginners' lessons starting Wednesday, 12 February, at 6:30pm at the Bridge Club, 414 Shakespeare Street…But be warned! You will make new friends, have serious fun and become addicted to the world’s most popular card game.
