  • BRIDGE MATTERS  Newsletter of the Caloundra, Coolum and Sunshine Coast Bridge Clubs June 2015
    BRIDGE MATTERS Newsletter of the Caloundra, Coolum and Sunshine Coast Bridge Clubs June 2015 AROUND THE CLUBS ♣♣♣ ♣♣♣ ♣♣♣ COOLUM Coolum has again conducted a set of 10 introductory lessons this year. From this, we have gained 20 new members who will now move into supervised play and play in our regular sessions. Our lessons are conducted on Saturday afternoons with a regular play session being conducted at the same time. Supervised play is conducted continuously through the year. Coolum’s lessons are conducted by Alan Sinclair and other volunteers. Because they are identical to the lessons conducted by Wendy O’Brien at Caloundra and Sunshine Coast, a welcome exchange of learners takes place between the clubs. Coolum’s final formal lesson was on May 23rd. Coolum Invitation Day 2015 will be conducted on Wednesday 2nd September at our usual home in Wembley Road, Coolum Beach. If you have never played in an invitation day, grab a partner and come along. It is a largely recreational day with a superb leisurely lunch. If you have never played in a day long event, this is a great start. Entry forms will appear on club noticeboards, or contact us directly at [email protected]. CALOUNDRA Like most other clubs, at Caloundra we have found that attendance at our congresses has been falling over recent times. We decided to reduce our program from 4 one-day events to one two-day event. Much publicity was undertaken, members visited clubs in our area to promote the event. Our own members were encouraged to enter, and we also had a really impressive response to appeals for food, kitchen workers and for billeting visitors.
