Bridge club plays Australia Day pairs
Australia Day Pairs attracted 17 pairs on Saturday, January 27, at the Brisbane Water Bridge Club.
The day included a half-time break with lamingtons and tim-tams.
At the end of the session, north-south winners were Susan McCall and Judy Wulff.
East-west winners were Chris Hannan and Chris Hasemore.
