It has been brought to my attention that Mr Google is giving some Sub -Options when asked to search for "Great Lakes Bridge Club”.

These include "COVID Events”, and “Results for Great Lakes Bridge….” (See: Read More) which will take you to screens showing incorrect information.

My advice is to always select the major heading “Great Lakes Bridge Club” to open the site then use the Main Menu to proceed to your choice of information.

A bridge player for about 40 years (and still going strong!), a Life Master and a founding member of Great lakes Bridge Club (GLBC), Jan Lawless turns 99 this week. Jan’s energy, humour and indomitable spirit continues to inspire us all, and we’re grateful for her long involvement in and work for the club. We wish her many happy returns on her birthday and many more to come!

A special thank you goes to Ann Kynaston for the beautiful cake!
