BENONI NORTHERNS BRIDGE CLUB
Est. 2006
Bridge serves to remind us that sport doesn’t have to be about who is the strongest, the fastest or the most dextrous; it’s also about mental fortitude. And that’s why we love to play it here at Benoni Northerns. Whether you’re an experienced bridge player looking to seriously compete or a beginner looking for a fun place to learn, Benoni Northerns Bridge club is the place for you.

RIP Geoff Ridyard
- by Dylan Coates
Long-time Benoni resident Geoffrey Ridyard died at his family home in Northmead recently.
Born in England in 1941, Geoff came to South Africa with his wife, Vivienne, and his three little girls in 1974, initially on a three-year work contract.
The family settled in Benoni and then stayed rather longer than expected, making it their home, making lifelong friends and making themselves part of the community.
