Hosted by the Leeton Soldiers Bridge Club, the day was a fund-raiser for Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA).
Twenty members turned out to play bridge on the day, including the club's oldest member, Marjory McCormack.
Member Helen Taylor said it was a competitive day.
"Marjory is one of our best players ... she's a tough opponent," she said.
"We think it's very important to raise money for something like this.
"It's good to keep your brain active."
The Bridge for Brains Research Challenge is a national event and this year marked the 10th time it has been held.
Each year it raises funds for NeuRA, which is one of the country's leading medical institutes and Alzheimer's and dementia research.
Money raised by the Leeton club supports NeuRA researchers working in improving early diagnosis of dementia and developing treatments to prevent the disease.
