We also have a special message from one of our major sponsors - Travel Associates:... "Thank you for all of your bookings and support this year. It has been a trying start to 2020 to say the least. I wanted to reach out and remind you that your local travel advisors are still here for any travel needs you may have. Any new bookings will be supporting the club the same way they always have been. You might be wondering what you could even be booking right now with the domestic borders ever changing and the rumour mill about when international travel will be returning to normal going gangbusters. The advisors at your local Travel Associates have been working to be educated and informed on all the needs for those who require travel for essential purposes both domestically and internationally. We have also been educating ourselves on some incredible domestic product that we would love to share with you! Whenever you are ready, or if you need help with a last minute travel emergency we are here for you. Rachel Colombo Canberra Bridge Club Co-ordinator Travel Associates Belconnen"

04.01.2022 The ABF would like to support youth bridge, and offer all youth players (and under 30's who are prepared to mentor) to enjoy a weekly game on BBO. We plan to ho...ld a duplicate and then have a talk after the game on any interesting hands. And It's completely free. We are in the final stages of getting this up and running, and we now require your feedback. We need to get the day of the week and the timing right for you, so I'm going to put up a poll, and you can vote on as many days as you want. After this poll, we will ask about times of the day, but that will be done at a later stage. We cannot link an actual poll on a Facebook page, so respond with 1= Sunday, 2= Monday 3=Tuesday 4=Wednesday 5=Thursday 6=Friday 7=Saturday
