Clyde Bridge Centre Latest Update

The Trustees and Implementation Group (IG) are delighted to inform you that the sale of Buchanan Bridge Club, Glasgow Bridge Centre and purchase of Centura Court in Hillington have all now been concluded (St Andrew had completed their sale previously).  A huge amount of work to marry all the processes, payments, and receipts took place and the Trustees and IG are very grateful to all those involved.

Arrangements had been agreed to allow members of the three clubs to continue to play at the the Buchanan and GBC premises until May while Centura Court is fitted out for our needs. Work started 24th March.  We anticipate starting tournaments at the Clyde Bridge Centre on 19th May. 

Members of the Clyde Bridge Centre, whether or not you are a member of one of the above clubs, will be treated as members and are very welcome at any tournament held at either the GBC or Buchanan

Glasgow Bridge Centre
Glasgow Bridge Centre

The Glasgow Bridge Centre enjoys a reputation as one of the finest bridge clubs in Scotland – let alone Glasgow. Players of all abilities are welcome.

Formed in 1983, the GBC has a proud history.  Over the years, many celebrated Scottish internationalists have all played at our club.

Albert Benjamin, inventor of the world-famous 'Benji Acol' bidding system,  played a vital role in the club's history and an atmospheric photograph of the great man  (did everyone smoke in those days?) still hangs in our premises at 1055 Pollokshaws Road – close to Minard Road.

For more than 50 years, we have continued to promote all that's good about bridge, encouraging high standards of play and fierce but friendly rivalry in the battle of the cards.  The Glasgow club's facilities include all the usual modern aids – Bridgemates, TV screens and our results are published on our website.  Coffee/tea and biscuits are included in the table money.

Come and join us! Email The Secretary for more information.
