| CLYDE BRIDGE CENTRE |
Three long-established Glasgow-based bridge clubs (Buchanan Bridge Club, Glasgow Bridge Centre and St Andrew Bridge Club) voted in 2024 to amalgamate to form a new Bridge Club and this has resulted in the Clyde Bridge Centre.
The Clyde Bridge Centre has been formed as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), which has been approved and registered under the name The Hillington Bridge Club Ltd, trading as the Clyde Bridge Centre.
The new club is located in Hillington (Glasgow) and is scheduled to open in May 2025.
Please read the letter sent out to WD clubs with some more background information on this exciting new project.
For further details and to join the new club visit the Clyde Bridge Centre website.

| A WORD FROM HARRY SMITH ... |
You will be aware that Alex Adamson & I have written a series of articles over the last 5 years. In 2016, the first 24 of these were collected into a book 'If I Only Had A Heart', and a further book 'Bridge Over The Rainbow' was published in 2019. We have now completed the full series of articles and the last book in the trilogy 'Double, Double, Toil and Trouble' has now been published.
The books follow the fortunes of the Over The Rainbow Bridge Club. The membership of the Club may seem to be mainly characters from The Wizard Of Oz, but on closer examination, I’m sure you will recognise all sorts of traits you see in bridge players around you.
The hands they play have all occurred in real life, and will be of interest to players at all levels.
Some more details are in our website
It also explains how people can purchase any of the books, and, in addition, Alex & I are offering signed copies to be posted out.
The previous two books have had great reviews. We hope people will have a look, and we very much hope will enjoy reading all of them.
