New Year's Eve Party We celebrate the arrival of the new year with drinks, bridge, supper, and fireworks (well, on TV). At the start of 2001, we ran a speedball from midnight to 12.30am and winners, based on speed and scores, were Don Mullineux & Mary Harrington, who have not met received any challenges to our claim that they were the first duplicate winners of the new millennium. |

They are now under new management but we may still have a day for open players perhaps 15 March 2010 (in 2009 was Sunday 1 February). Trumps and Brentwood Village combine to present a fun lunch and bridge day on the Central Coast - and it is free to members or just $10 for others! 10am coach pick-up from Trumps or Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club. Noon lunch at Brentwood Village. Followed by a bridge game, the "Brentwood Village Cup". Non-bridgies who wish to join us may do other activities while the rest of us play bridge. Fully booked in 2009, so book ahead.
Held in 2009, the following event resulted in a tie: Sunday 31 May at Trumps at 1pm we have a Trumps versus Social Bridge fun event. Open or Novice sections available, including a prize for the top pair from our 2009 beginner classes! Afternoon tea, bridge, drinks, nibbles, $12/$15.

introduction for first-timers to Swiss Pairs, where you play as a pair but with
