A live bridge congress - it must be one of the very few held anywhere

We are indeed fortunate to be in WA where it is within the regulations to hold a bridge congress.  The small town of Kendenup, some 70 kms from Albany, held its annual bridge congress and we were fortunate to be around to play in it.  

There were 14 tables and some generous prizes.  The event was held in the Kendenup Agricultural Hall and Camping Venue and we stayed two nights and played bridge.  It was a very nice experience and we are very fortunate to be in a safe place where this event could be held.

People came from as far as Mandurah to attend.  The local ladies put on a lovely lunch of home baked pies and some great salads.  The morning and afternoon tea was typical of great country cooking and baking.  We all had a wonderful time and Andrew and I came third and our winnings were very generous.  

From here we return to Albany to attend the Melbourne Cup event being held at the bridge club there.  Some photos of that event will be posted in due course.

It is sometimes easy to forget how the rest of the country, indeed the world, is suffering such hardships during this pandemic while we are able to move around here in WA with no restrictions.  We regularly count our blessings.
