62nd Clonmel Bridge Congress

Published 2 weeks ago 19th March 2025 by Reporter

Talbot Hotel, Clonmel from Friday, 28th March to Sunday, 30th March

The 62nd Clonmel Bridge Congress will be held in the Talbot Hotel Poppyfields Clonmel from Friday, 28th March to Sunday, 30th March 2025. The Congress will host events for all grades from Novice to Master level.

The 2025 Congress Committee are as follows. Standing from left to right: Anthony O’Reilly, Tony Lonergan, Mary Horne, Willie Corby, Shula McCarthy. Seated from left to right: Carol Moore (Hon. Secretary), Ann Nolan (President) Tom O’Donnell (Hon. Treasurer), Catherine Lonergan (Assistant treasurer). Missing from photo are committee members Dolores O’Donnell and Helen Power.

Clonmel Bridge Congress was founded in 1963. The first Chairperson was Miss. Nellie Darmody, the first President was Alderman Denis Burke. The Congress has gone from strength to strength with a slight hiccup during covid.

The Bridge Congress is made up of representatives of the bridge clubs in Clonmel, and is the only congress held in County Tipperary. This prestigious event attracts bridge players from all over Ireland. New friendships have been forged at Bridge Congress’s and new friendships will be made again this year in Clonmel.

Great tribute must be made to outgoing President Dolores O’Donnell who joined the Congress committee in the 1970’s and held various roles before taking up the position as President of the Congress from 1996 until 2024. Dolores was a most efficient President who will be greatly missed but are pleased she will remain on the committee.
