IN the last pre-COVID the National Bridge for Brains Competition over 2000 pairs participated and two Members from Hawks Nest Bridge Club secured two out of the top four places coming first in the over 75’s section and second overall.

By anyone’s standards this was an awesome result.

So, compelling is the research from all over the world which has shown that it is a fact that bridge is good exercise for your brain as are social connections during later years of life.

Australia-wide, bridge players annually contribute about $40,000 to Neuroscience Research.

Bridge is for everyone, from all walks of life, all ages and physical condition.

It’s an inexpensive, 4 hour game costing $5.

It is played in air conditioned comfort no-matter the weather.

You are invited to join us at “Meet the Club Social” in early July where members will dispel any rumours that bridge is a serious game and you can experience just how relaxed and fun learning can become.

Interested?
