Cootamundra Bridge Club Wattletime Spring Congress

Cootamundra Bridge Club welcomed more than 100 Bridge players to their 5th Congress which was held last weekend at the Ex-Servicemens & Citizens Memorial Club. Players came from the Southern Highlands, Cooma, West Wyalong, Canberra, Wagga, Young and Wangaratta attended, making for a riveting weekend.

The weekend was a huge success thanks to the hard work of Judy Harris, who was the main organiser of the weekend.

Further accolades go to President Jude Hillam, who enthused the club members to make our visitors’ food experience in Cootamundra such a memorable treat.

The Congress was once again in the capable hands of Daryl Whitfield from Canberra.
