A History of the Otago Bridge Club

by Chris Ackerley

This beautifully crafted, thoroughly researched book presents a fascinating history of the Club from its formation in 1936 through the time its premises were located on High Street until the construction and subsequent occupation of the present building in Otaki Street. Meet the movers and shakers, the personalities, the characters and the many and varied tales of fortune and woe around the bridge table and beyond. This is an immense work that you will enjoy reading from cover to cover, and then love dipping into later for all those anecdotes and personal histories and memories. Copies are still available from the Club for just $10.
