Wearside Bridge Club was formed in February, 1949 when some of the founder members bought the present premises, at 17 Park Place West, in Sunderland. We celebrated our sixtieth anniversary in 2009.
We are extremely fortunate to have such lovely premises, and owe those members a debt of gratitude. At the moment we have about 116 members and play bridge five nights each week.
