Australia Day Served With Snags, Smiles And A Deck Of Cards

BRIDGE

Our fantastic Australia Day event was a huge success, with all thanks going to the Mackay Regional Council for the funding to run this event. Members and potential new players partook in an Australian Day BBQ with a sumptuous morning tea, while enjoying a game of Bridge. Lessons for Beginners begin Tuesday 3rd February 2026, please see advertisement below in this issue of Mackay Life for more details. We hope to see many new or returning players at the table. We are a fun bunch and the game of Bridge is challenging and addictive.
