The Gawler Bridge Club commenced over 25 years ago in 1987. The club was founded by Phil Gue and operated out of humble beginnings in a small building in the main street of Gawler.
The club had several venues in Gawler including the Willaston Football Club, the Gawler Race Track and now operates from The Elderly Centre on 14th Street Gawler and has continued at this venue for over 15 years.
From a small group of bridge playing enthusiasts, the club now boasts membership of 60 members and at least 10 of those founding members are still playing at Gawler today!
In 1987 our 1st President was Ian Cooper and the Clubs Honour Board reflects the past and present committee. Our club has 5 life members with Phil Gue being our 1st Patron (2004-09) and Beryl Ey (founding member) is our current Patron.
In memory of our past members, players compete for several trophies during the year including: John Chambers, Lois Duke and Alan Bruer cups. Our club holds two Congress per year (Autumn Pairs and Winter Teams Event) and both Congress well supported along with inter-club challenges.
We are affiliated with ABF and masterpoints allocated accordingly. We are using Bridgemate to score our weekly evening and day sessions, and a dealing machine for our boards create competitive play.
The Gawler Bridge Club committee strongly endorse the encouragement of attracting new members to our club. Bridge Training Courses are continually being held throughout the year and a strong emphasis is placed on advertising our clubs activities.
