THE Coffs Harbour Bridge Club (CHBC) has announced the five local charities chosen as beneficiaries of its annual donations.
Each receiving $1000 are Pete’s Place, Coffs Coast Meals On Wheels, Warrina, Coffs Uniting Church Soup Place and Lifehouse Care and Food Pantry.
“These five charities are long established in the local community and are in a prime position to help those who are currently facing challenging personal circumstances,” President of Coffs Harbour Bridge Club Barry Butler told News Of The Area
Looking ahead, 2026 will be the 30th anniversary of the opening of the CHBC clubhouse at City Hill Drive (adjacent to the Bunker Factory) and members have started planning “special, exciting birthday events”.
CHBC has around 170 members and holds club sessions every day of the week except Sunday and Thursday.
“We cater for all levels of bridge playing abilities with both beginners and intermediate educational programs throughout the year.”
Within the clubhouse there is an extensive library of free bridge related books to “help one’s development in this majestic game”.
The club runs one of the biggest bridge congresses in Australia, attracting players both from all across Australia and internationally.
The week-long competition is held at the Opal Cove Resort in Coffs Harbour.
“The CHBC is always looking to grow its membership so if you would like to learn how to play bridge then email CHBC at coffsbridge@gmail.com.au for more information,” Mr Butler said.
