♠️♥️ Elgin Café Bridge 2026 ♦️♣️

Registration is now OPEN for Elgin’s second Café Bridge event, taking place on **Thursday 27th August**!

Come along for a fantastic day of bridge, friendship and fun while enjoying play at a variety of welcoming local venues across Elgin. Whether you're catching up with old friends or making new ones, Café Bridge offers a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

We’re delighted to be raising funds once again for **CLAN**, our local cancer charity, helping to support people and families across the area.

Last year’s event was a huge success, with delicious home bakes provided by our members, great venues, plenty of laughter, and a wonderful opportunity to mingle with fellow bridge players. We’re looking forward to making this year even better!

What a lovely Saturday night we had! 😊

We kicked things off with a fantastic curry night at Panache 🍛 before heading back to the centre for an evening of bridge. It was so nice to see everyone in a different setting, relax, chat, and really enjoy each other’s company outside the usual tables. Nights like these remind us that bridge is about so much more than just cards — it’s about friendship, laughter, and being part of a welcoming community ❤️

If you’ve ever thought about learning bridge, why not take the plunge? We have lessons starting this September, and we’d love for you to join us. It’s a great way to meet new people, keep your mind active, and become part of something really special.

Come along and see what it’s all about — you might just find your new favourite hobby! ♠️♥️♣️♦️
