Smiling no-matter the hand dealt: See pictures from The Bathurst and District Bridge Club

The bridge club meets five times a week for bridge sessions, and once a week for a mahjong session at their purpose-built premises at 47 Mitre Street Bathurst.

These sessions times include afternoons and weekends, in order to allow those who are not available during working hours to have the opportunity to participate in the game.
