Surfers Bridge Club in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Australia | Club

Welcome to Surfers Bridge Club, Surfers Paradise, Australia. The Surfers Bridge Club was formed on the 13th of June 1982 by fifteen founding members and was first located on the Isle of Capri and later at the Senior Citizens Centre at Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise.

Over the years the dream of having our own premises was pursued and with building fund work, Gold Coast City Council support by way of leasing our site and finance and a State Government Grant, our present Club rooms became a reality and opened on the 25th of October 1991.

At the time of moving, membership was approximately 250 but this grew to 750 with playing sessions every day but Christmas Day. With these increasing numbers an extension was added in 1997 giving a capacity of seventy-five tables and sliding walls to partition the area so lessons and play could be conducted at the same time.  The Surfers Bridge Club offers regular Beginner’s Lessons conducted by Dawn Turner & Denise Kennealy

They consist of eight, two-hour sessions in two groupings; the first four weeks and the second five. Between the two groups players can attend Supervised Play sessions to practice. The bidding system you are introduced to is known as "Standard American", the world's most popular method.  Following this introduction to the game, the Club offers Supervised Play sessions on Tuesday afternoons, Improver Class on Saturday mornings and Intermediate classes on Monday mornings. Also special competitions sections restricted to new players.
