The Burdekin Bridge Group celebrated a major milestone this week, hosting their first-ever bridge competition at the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre against members of the Townsville Bridge Club.
Although the group has only been running for 10 months, nerves quickly gave way to excitement as players faced off in a friendly but competitive environment. The atmosphere was supportive and encouraging, with participants enjoying the experience and the chance to connect with others.
Bridge, a strategic card game requiring teamwork, communication, and concentration, proved the perfect way for players to challenge themselves while building connections. The Burdekin Bridge Club, initiated by Sylvia van Rossum, began as a simple idea and has grown into a thriving weekly activity. Now, the group meets weekly, offering member the chance to sharpen their minds while making new friends as the group continues to welcome newcomers.
Natalie Saroglia, Co-Ordinator of the BNC, said the Neighbourhood Centre is excited to have helped create and grow the Burdekin Bridge Club.
"The Bridge Club has become a great place for people to connect with others, learn new skills, and make new friends," she said. "As a community-focused organisation, we love partnering with local residents to turn their ideas into reality. By working together, we can make our community stronger and create lasting opportunities for everyone.”
Anyone interested in joining this friendly community initiative is encouraged to drop by the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre on Tuesday mornings or contact the Centre for more information.
