About Broadwater Bridge Club

HISTORY OF OUR CLUB

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 first Inaugural President and continued in 2004. Vincent Vine was our hard working President for 2005-6 and Val Huntley in November 2006 and again in 2007.

We now play Mondays and Tuesday afternoons at the Hope Island Resort and will commence playing Thursday afternoons after the New Year.

We hold two congresses a year, Swiss Pairs in March and Swiss Teams in July. We are allocated 10 Red Point Events a year. Our Club continues to grow with over 100+ members from Grand Masters down to Graduates. When visiting the Gold Coast please pop in for a game of Bridge. Everyone is welcome.

You can also have a game of golf at our venue, the Hope Island Golf Club, the best Golf Course on the Gold Coast.
