The Broadwater Bridge Club, at the Northern end of the Gold Coast, welcomes all players from Graduates to Grand Masters. When visiting the Gold Coast please pop in for a game of Bridge. Everyone is welcome most days. However, understandably, Teams Events require pre-entries and the few red point events we have are Members Only.
Please arrive by 9.15am for a 9.30am start on Mondays and Tuesdays at the Upper Coomera Centre;
Please note: All players must be double vaccinated for Covid 19 to participate in any session.
On the 19th August 2002 at the Paradise Point Bowls Club, a group of 36 people met to discuss the formation of a Bridge Club in the Hope Island / Runaway Bay Area. There was support from the Surfers Paradise Bridge Club and the Gold Coast Bridge Club. Kim Ellaway from QBA also gave her support.
We commenced playing at the Paradise Point Bowls Club and had our first AGM on 18th November 2003. Keith McDonald, President of QBA was present and wished us well. We had 15 paid up members. Ray Hutchinson was our Inaugural President.
Our Club continues to grow, with over 120 members from Graduates to a Grand Master.
Our President for 2024 is Carolyn McMurray (0407 010 246)
I'm giving up Bridge. Tonight's my last night
It's amen to Staymen, I give up the fight.
The insults and muddles are giving me troubles
And I can't sleep at night for thinking of Doubles
My cards are all rotten and I have forgotten who's played
and what's trumps and what's gone on my right
So for now it's all over, I'm off to the back wood
I'm bidding goodbye to Gerber and Blackwood
I can't stand the hassle, I can't stand the pain
I'm getting those bad cards again and again
So I'm giving up Bridge - tonights' a bad night
Declarer is horrid and nothing's going right
My partner's a dope and I'm losing all hope
And when she says "double" I know we are in trouble.
My points are not high and I'm wondering why
She kept on bidding right up to the sky
We're in seven spades and all my hope fades
When surprise, surprise, the high bidding pays!
We're winning all tricks, the defenders feel sick,
And I have to admit my partner's a brick
But I'm giving up Bridge - Tonight's my last night!
Farewell to Conventions - I give up the fight?
So I leave with few words but some that are true,
Bridge is a game - not for me but for you.
So be kind to your partners and don't mind their cheek.
For it's only a game - Oh yes. I'll see you next week!
