BRIDGE CLUB

MCC has introduced an exciting new diversion for Bridge enthusiasts.

On the second Monday of every month Bridge players of all abilities can meet in the Ballroom for an afternoon of social Bridge followed by afternoon Cream Tea. Playing a rotation of tables, this Bridge session is for players who want to have a fun afternoon, meet some new Bridge players and maybe even learn a new trick or two.

For more serious Bridge players, on the fourth Monday of every month, MCC is now hosting a Duplicate Bridge afternoon for partners only. Hands will be pre-dealt and all pairs will play all the boards in different rotations, competing like-for-like.

This Bridge afternoon is more about the skill of the partnerships, and the session ends with a prize being awarded to the highest scoring pair, followed by a Cream Tea for everyone.

It is hoped that these Bridge sessions will attract enough players to eventually re-launch the Bridge Club and possibly introduce evening Bridge sessions, so any card playing aficionados are warmly welcomed to join either, or both, Monday sessions for a stimulating, fun and social afternoon.

The next Bridge afternoons will be held on Monday 24 April from 1.30pm – 4.30pm (Duplicate Bridge) and Monday 8 May from 1.30pm – 4.30pm (Social Bridge.)

MCC Quiz Night

Quiz Night was a resounding success thanks to the 19 teams (almost 100 players) that signed up for it. With the peerless Steve Mills as Quiz Master, the packed Ballroom was thrumming with intellectual energy!

The winning team (pictured above) captained by Darshani Haria, will facilitate the next Quiz Night on 17 May 2023. Look out for details and sign up quickly to guarantee a place for your team.

Night of Broadway, performed live at MCC by the dazzling trio of Jessica Odede (Soprano) Winnie Munuthi (Pianist) and Angie Gachuie, was such a roaring success that, by popular demand, they staged a repeat performance two weeks later for all those Members who could not fit into the Ballroom on First Night and the attendance was equally good with another packed house.

The good time gals, pictured above from left - Jessica Odede, Winnie Munuthi and Angie Gachuie, gave rousing renditions of well-loved songs from a selection of the most popular Broadway Musicals.

Nairobi National Park

The World’s Greatest City Wildlife Park

Friends of Nairobi National Park (FoNNaP) is dedicated to assisting the KWS in the conservation and protection of the Nairobi National Park and the wildlife dispersal area around it.

MCC recently hosted an evening with FoNNaP to raise money through an auction of art works by local artists, to help in their efforts to promote a conservation strategy allowing wildlife and community members to co-exist in the dispersal areas.

The evening was a tremendous success supported by over 90 Members and friends who helped to raise a total of Ksh 900,000/- for FoNNaP and Nairobi National Park.

Pictured here are some of the artists and MCC Members who support FoNNaP and are dedicated to making Nairobi National Park The World’s Greatest City Wildlife Park.
