The latest figures from NZ Bridge show an encouraging growth in the number of registered players.

We can be proud to see her being invited to address regional conferences all over the country ... largely funded and supported by the national body. NZ Bridge is on a mission to grow the game, reversing the disturbing trend we can see in the table to the side here.
