Following our AGM, we enjoyed a delicious lunch of various soups and buns and competed in the 2026 Australia Wide Open Pairs Competition.
It was yet another great day for the members of the Inverell Delvyn Bridge Club.

New England Novice Pairs Event - Inverell 18/10/2026:
The New England Novice Pairs Event was created by Inverell Delvyn Bridge Club member Sandra Mason to give newer players the opportunity to enjoy competitive bridge without the pressure of playing alongside more experienced players. It is aimed at players with fewer than 25 masterpoints.
The event has grown over the years, attracting players from Warialda, Glen Innes, Armidale and Tenterfield, while its original purpose remains the same: to provide a friendly opportunity to compete, learn and enjoy the game.
This year, Inverell Delvyn Bridge Club will host the event on Sunday, October 18, commencing at 9 am.
For novice players, a competition can be daunting. With everyone at a similar stage, the event offers a relaxed atmosphere where players can build confidence, meet others and enjoy the excitement of competition. Prizes at the end of the day add to the sense of occasion.
Sandra's original idea remains at the heart of the event: this day is for new players. After all, every experienced bridge player was once a novice.
