The congress was directed by John McIlrath who did a brilliant job keeping the event running smoothly and on time.
The food supplied by Tomaree members for morning and afternoon teas was as usual a feast fit for a king.
Lunch served was sandwiches from The Eatery which were fresh with generous fillings followed by seasonal fruits.
At the close of the event on Sunday afternoon everyone enjoyed a wine or beer with hot and cold savouries before heading home.
Another successful congress which is growing in popularity each year not only because of the well directed bridge event but also the attraction of a weekend in beautiful Port Stephens with wonderful food to be enjoyed by all.
