Member’s Story: Elizabeth Sugars

“As far back as our family history goes we have played cards in the evenings. When I moved to the city to be closer to my family I started looking for somewhere to play Bridge and make some new friends, and found The Fremantle Bridge Club. My daughter, Helen, and I enrolled in Beginner lessons there and found the established members very welcoming and helpful, encouraging us to join in on regular club days. It wasn’t long before Helen’s son, Ryan, decided to join us, and now we are all members of the club and committed Bridge players.

2023 Christmas Party

FBC Christmas Party is being held at the clubrooms on Saturday December 16th. The cost is $30 for members and partners. If you intend coming, please enter your names in the events book and make any notations beside your name if you have a dietary concern. Monies can be paid to the Director of the day or by wire transfer. While the party starts at 5.30p, members are encouraged to stay when Bridge finishes and adjourn to the tea rooms for drinks while the main room is being prepared.

Christmas Pairs

Fremantle Bridge Club Christmas Pairs will be played on Saturday December 16th at 1pm as advertised. However, there is a slight amendment. As the event is on the same day as the FBC Christmas Party the fees for the Red Point Event will only be $7 for members and $9 for non-members. This is because there is no special afternoon tea due to the party later that afternoon.

Melbourne Cup Day

Last date for booking the 2023 Melbourne Cup Lunch is next Tuesday October 31st. If you intend to attend, please make sure you put your name in the Events Book and pay by that date. $30 members and $40 for non-members.
