Welcome to Toowong Bridge Club. |
NEWS
New national gold point event, the Australia Wide Teams Club Knockout:
All Clubs are eligible to enter one team for each of four divisions. Toowong’s Division 2 team with all players having fewer than 750 masterpoints is already being organised but you are invited to submit expressions of interest for the other divisions. For details see More...
Vale Kev Ward:
Sadly, Kev Ward died this morning (19th March) after a short illness. Commisserations to Jan, his family and friends.
Change to Tuesday Evening Supervised Play:
Tuesday evening Supervised Play will no longer be available after Tuesday 21/3 due in part to small numbers. Tuesday evening players are encouraged to join the Thursday evening 6.30pm to 8.30pm group or either Monday afternoon 1.30 - 3.30 pm or Saturday morning 10 - 12 pm.
Why Are There 52 Cards:
One theory is, the four colors represent the four seasons, while the 52 maps represent the 52 weeks of a year. The thirteen cards per suit represent the thirteen lunar cycles.
This may not be far off, since the Arab world was very good at astronomy and may have set a universal standard.
Mentor Monday will not be played again until April:
Due to a family situation Larry will not be available until after Easter.
QBA Bulletins:
The latest QBA Bulletins are always available under our "Contacts" tag where you will find them under "Useful Links".
