BRIDGE LESSONS ON CARDS

Clive Brown, Eugenie Mooney, Simon Reeve and Anna Irminger BRIDGE lessons are being provided by the Noosa Bridge Club from September 13 for eight weeks.

There is a Saturday session for workers.

Once basic skills have been mastered, there are a number of competitions available, such as the recent Novice Congress where players of the same ability competed in a friendly atmosphere.

The course is 9am-11am at the club’s rooms at 3 Wallace St, Noosaville.

Cost is $80 which includes a copy of Paul Marston’s “Introduction to Bridge”. The beginner’s course covers all the basic concepts of bridge and includes sessions of supervised play where the teacher is available to help.

NINETY members and guests attended Buderim Garden Club’s 75th anniversary lunch last month.

Patron and life member Marjorie Van Roy spoke about the club’s history and QCGC president Phil Adams presented a certificate of congratulations for achieving the milestone.

BGC was founded in 1946 along with the Buderim War Memorial Community Association a year earlier as part of the post-war program to continue the involvement of Buderim residents in the life of the community.

Initially, BGC was an informal small group of people interested in gardening and beautification of Buderim. A formal committee was created in 1949.

The club was not intended to be a formal horticultural society, but aimed to provide a social meeting and learning place for residents interested in beautifying the town through private gardens and public parks.

It now has 288 members.

The next major event is the Buderim Garden Festival on October 15-17, based at the Buderim Memorial Hall with a flower/ photographic show and plant markets and six open gardens will be on display.
