Seven tables of Open Game players and 2.5 tables of Practice & Play players had a great afternoon of bridge and a fun "recycled gift" exchange. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the club, those who baked treats and set up for the gift exchange, Bruce Moor for directing and Judi and Gord Waters for running the Practice and Play section. Check out photos of the event here.
