CLYDE BRIDGE CENTRE
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 now open for both F2F and online tournaments.

For further details and to join the new club visit the Clyde Bridge Centre website.
