History

The Ross on Wye Bridge Club was founded by Douglas Harper in 1987. The first meeting was on 4^th May that year, when 35 members met to play rubber bridge in the Ross Conservative Club. The annual subscription was £3 and the table money was 30p

Later in the year, the Club began to play duplicate bridge, became affiliated to the English Bridge Union and to the newly formed Herefordshire Bridge Association

The membership continued to grow and the Club began to look for a more suitable venue that could cope with such a large number of players. It was at this time that the Community Association was developing the Larruperz Centre and in June 1990 the Club was able to hire the Paxton Hall, where .bridge has been played ever since except when lockdown prevented us from playing face to face and we reverted to playing on-line.
