10 Year Anniversary Book 

In 2021, to mark its 10 year Anniversary, Railway Union Bridge Club produced a souvenir book recording the Bridge Club's journey over its first 10 years. The book was presented to all members as part of the 10 year celebrations, with many familiar faces and friends throughout it - with lots still playing in the club today.

See the book here

We hope you enjoy it!
