Bowen Bridge Club Welcome 78 People For Congress

Bowen Bridge Club was abuzz with activity as 78 players from across Queensland and interstate converged for the club’s annual Congress earlier this month.

It was a strong showing from the visiting Mackay Bridge Club, with Diane Morgan and Janet Hansen taking out the championship title. Fellow Mackay players Jan Harris and Helen Van der Broek secured the runner-up position, capping off a successful weekend for the club.

Local players also had plenty to celebrate, with four Bowen pairs earning places in their respective categories. In the C Grade, Debbie Breeze and Sue McInnes claimed second place, while Jill Brabon and Bev Lowcock finished third. In D Grade, Janice Bates and Trish Berry took out first place, and Maureen and Kevin Baxter came third.

The club extended warm congratulations to all the winners and expressed gratitude to supporters Koorelah Farms and Stackelroth Farm for generously donating fresh local fruit and vegetables for the event raffle.

The annual Congress continues to be a highlight on the Bowen Bridge Club calendar, bringing players together for a weekend of friendly competition and community spirit.
