An amazing thirty-two, Mackay novices and experienced players, attended the 2025 Gold Coast Congress last week. This congress attracts players from all over the world. Everyone enjoyed the week with some hard cards, lots of fun and time away enjoyed. Congratulations to David and Ming Ting who won the Bobby Richmond Championship Intermediate E Final. Well done to everyone who participated. The home front was a bit quieter but thanks to some wonderful dedicated people, members still enjoyed their weekly games of bridge.
