Call for Council nominations

February 12, 2026

Clubs are invited to nominate and vote for the Bridge NSW Council.

The Council represents 140 member clubs and over 11,000 players across the state. It also appoints Board members, approves by-laws and has general oversight powers.

The Council meets at least once a year, and holds informal discussions throughout the year. No particular skills are required to become a Council member. The key is to have a passion for the bridge community and seeing clubs thrive and be sustainable over the long term.

Key election dates
