Cairns Bridge Club
The Cairns Bridge Club was founded in 1972. It now has over 200 members
and plays in its own air-conditioned club house. Players of all levels
and experience are welcome.
The Club maintains an extensive library, runs teaching classes and encourages
an interest in administration and directing.
The Club is affiliated with the Australian Bridge Federation and participates
in the masterpoint scheme. Players achieve rankings according to their achievements
at the table. The ABF provides a subsidy for a North Queensland team to
play in the final in Sydney of the Grand National Open Teams.
The Queensland Bridge Association provides subsidies for North Queensland
players to attend the State Championships in Brisbane, and the Gold Coast
Congress. The QBA also subsidises visits by Queensland and international
bridge teachers and directors.
The Club relies on the voluntary efforts of its members for all administration,
housekeeping, scoring and directing.
