The Mackay Bridge Club celebrated another twelve months of fantastic card play with its Christmas break up last Saturday. A record 18 tables of members played bridge, with lots of laughter celebrating Christmas together. Partners also shared in the wonderful Christmas fare. A big thank you to Janelle and her helpers for providing a wonderful meal. Our Christmas raffle was extra special this year. Thank you to members for your donations and Debra Goodchild for her dedication to making this successful. President Frances Brown and members look forward to another wonderful year of card play and welcoming new members to learn the game of bridge. Lessons start in February 2025. Bridge is not just for older people, but for people of all ages. We have evening and Saturday play for people who work or attend school. President Frances extends warm wishes for a Happy Christmas and a safe New Year to all.
