Elgin Café Bridge

Thursday 28th August 2025

We are pleased to announce Elgin's inaugural Café Bridge Day, organised by Nichola Maasdorp, with the help of Victor Lesk for the benefit of Clan Cancer Support. The sun always shines on Café Bridge, and it is impossible not to have a good time, especially in the company of Scotland's friendliest bridge players.

Highlights of the day:

  • Registration in Elgin Bridge Centre with welcome coffee/tea and biscuits
  • 24 hands of bridge played in six to eight venues (cafes/restaurants/hotels) with short walks in between
  • Lunch at your mid-day venue
  • Raffle on behalf of Clan Cancer Support, drawn while results are being finalized
