โ„น๏ธJULY CLUB PROFILE: Sunbury Bridge Club โ„น๏ธ

From its early days with just 20 members, Sunbury Bridge Club has grown into a thriving community of 60 players at their new home, the Sunbury Social Club at Clarke Oval!

The club values the social side of the game, with members regularly gathering for meals and hosting fun interclub days with friends from Williamstown and Macedon Ranges.

Whether you're a seasoned player or looking to learn, the club hosts regular sessions throughout the week - including social play on Fridays where no partner is required.

The're also one of the few clubs active of Facebook - and we love seeing their regular content ๐Ÿ‘
