Glasgow Café Bridge

Thursday 14th November 2024

We are pleased to announce Glasgow's inaugural Café Bridge Day, organised by Margaret MacCallum, Alan Livingstone, Alyson Raworth and Diane Murdoch with the help of Victor Lesk in aid of musicALL Scotland. The sun always shines on Café Bridge in November, and it is impossible not to have a good time, especially in the company of Scotland's friendliest bridge players.

Highlights of the day:

  • Registration in The Glasgow Bridge Centre with welcome coffee/tea and biscuits
  • 24 hands of bridge played in six to eight venues (cafes/restaurants/hotels) with short walks in between
  • Lunch at your mid-day venue
  • After last round return to the The Glasgow Bridge Centre for a friendly glass of Prosecco
  • Raffle in aid of musicALL Scotland, drawn while results are being finalized

Glasgow Café Bridge is now provisionally full. However, the organisers are looking for space to expand the event.
