NYC Bridge Club
Bridge commenced again on 29th September 2022, sadly without our Bridge Convener Ida Kiernan who passed away suddenly on 4th September.
Ida ran the NYC Bridge Club for many years, running many competitions including the G.I.N Cup a competition between the three Waterfront Clubs.
The members who returned in September have all helped in the smooth running of the Bridge Club and we greatly appreciate their help and input. It would be great to see new members playing in the New Year. Bridge finishes for Christmas on 8th December and reconvening on 12th January 2023.
