It seems so simple. Just walk in, greet your friends, find a table, and wait for the boards to get delivered. But there is a lot of planning, co-ordinating and above all, volunteer effort that encompasses the running of the London Bridge Centre. And it just wouldn't happen without the extraordinary support the club receives from our volunteers.
Through the combined efforts of the Board, Committees, and volunteers the London Bridge Centre was planned, then launched, and subsequently grew into a premier bridge centre. Much of the club's success is directly attributable to our volunteers. So on your next hand, pause and put down your hand and give a hand to all our helping hands.
