Our current in-person schedule:  

Who gets the cookies, the pop, the coffee, and the paper towels?  Who changes the lights? Who empties the garbage? Our Volunteers do all of the above and much more. The LBC is a successful bridge club because of our Volunteers. Take a look at our COMMITTEES AND VOLUNTEER page and let's give them our thanks for all that they contribute to the London Bridge Centre.

See our description here for a summary of Masterpoints and how to earn them.

The final numbers are in for the DAY OF BRIDGE fundraiser in support of the Alzheimer Society Southwest Partners.

In addition to the $12,477 donated by the members and friends of the London Bridge Centre, the club also donated the net session fees collected on the Day of Bridge. A total of $482.

Many thanks to our LBC members and their friends who generously donated almost $13,000 in support of the Alzheimer Society Southwest Partners.

A fabulous achievement as this was the largest donation in our club’s history, to the Alzheimer Society Southwest Partners.

Let's all do our best to avoid Alzheimer's disease: exercise, be social, play bridge, and eat healthy balanced meals with Janine's Brain Healthy diet.
