Bridge NSW is encouraging us to invite our friends to join the bridge community.

If you enjoy this challenging pastime, then perhaps you would like to share the fun with a friend.

The photo above is being used on the tables of Online Supervised Play on Sunday evening. These tables are open to players from all over NSW. You will notice that it features some of our own Taree players!

SUPERVISORS:

Please see above the results of the State Teams event run at the Club last Tuesday, 18 August, 2026.

Lyn Boylan, our Tournament Organiser, will be contacting eligible participants this week to confirm their intention to represent Taree at the next round in Coffs Harbour at the end of September.

Congratulations to the winners and all who entered.

Today I am delighted to have the opportunity to introduce my friend Maretta Callow.

As we all know, Maretta doesn't like to draw attention to herself so I asked her a few questions and here are her responses:

1. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING BRIDGE?

   I started lessons in August, 2010 when Judy Scott was the teacher.

    

2. DO YOU COME FROM A CARD-PLAYING FAMILY?

Our fantastic teacher, Sue Eishauer will teach another round of Learning to play Bridge for Beginners in a 10 week course commencing on Monday, October 12, 2026 from 1-4 pm.

Sue is recognised by Bridge NSW as an excellent teacher who is passionate about Bridge and sharing it with others.

Bookings are essential. Phone 0494 398 162.

SUPERVISORS:

As you know, our Club supports the BridgeNSW Online Supervised Play (OSP) initiative. In order to run this program for beginners from around NSW, we need the help of more experienced players to Supervise a table of four.

The platform used is Real Bridge so you can see and hear each other. It runs from 3:45pm until around 5:45pm on any Sunday you are available to help. At the moment we regularly have 4 tables of "Taree Tigers" but are hoping to increase this number as it is a great teaching tool and is totally free.
