| CLYDE BRIDGE CENTRE |
 See Our Picture gallery Under the Home Tab to look inside
Normally The Clyde Bridge is easily accessible from the North and South of Glasgow, Paisley, Dumbarton, Erskine, Kilmarnock, Greenock, Hamilton, East Kilbride & Cumbernauld. However extra time may be required due to major roadworks which have started on the M8. See HERE for more information. As of the 10th December one lane of the slip road towards the City Centre is open.
Our Bridge Academy has a range of courses to meet all levels of players from beginners to experienced. See Where & When We Play for list of tournaments. But first see our Picture Gallery and then visit us and see for yourself
Visitors: All visitors are welcome up to a maximum of six visits per year.

| Fantastic Xmas Revelry |
|
"How wonderful! ' "We really enjoyed it". "Couldn't fault anything" "Food great" - These were just some of the plaudits about our party. Thank you to the myriad of helpers who helped to make the evening such a success and a special thanks to Ileen and Alyson for organising the event. Our barmen, Roy & Peter, were a bit disappointed they didn't get any tips - but Que Sera! Donna, William, Gloria and Liz worked their socks off so remember to say thanks when you see them. There was a picture of our fabulous Balloon arch but somehow it has disappeared - however the arch is still there so come and see it this week!

| Play & Learn in the Festive Spirit |
Play and Learn had a slightly unusual tournament this week! They held a Revision Night/Back-to-Basics Special, and to keep things cheerful there was a festive twist. The ladies were invited to arrive in Christmas sparkle, while the gents competed fiercely for the title of Ugliest (and Funniest!) Acrylic Christmas Jumper.
The fun element worked wonders — the bridge was lively, the laughter plentiful, and the outfits… unforgettable. More Photos of the night can be found by clicking on the Home Page tab above, then Photo Gallery.

| Under 21's Training Day |
 It's not just us saying it - it's the young people themselves from their feedback forms. They had a ♦ GREAT♦ day on Saturday 30th November.
Unfortunately there are a couple of "call offs" due to illness but 8 young people from the West of Scotland met together under the auspices of Peter Clarke, Douglas Carson, Danny Hamilton and John Di Mambro. They really appreciated the coaching and opportunity to practice as well as getting to know other young people who like them, were serious about Bridge. Perhaps tomorrow's International Champions? The winners Rachel Yu and Niamh took home a super trophy.
Scroll through the photos in the Photo Gallery under the Home tab to see the fun!
