The Moonee Valley Bridge Club held their annual Super Congress from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 May.

Moonee Valley, like most bridge clubs, thrives because of its hugely supportive volunteer base of members. Fraser Thorpe is to be congratulated for preparing a brilliant event. The team who put together the "snacks" made bringing your own lunch completely unnecessary and set a new bar for club congress refreshments. Well done to all.

Congratulations to all players and to the following placegetters:
