Welcome
The Glenelg Contract Bridge Club is a community-based club that provides the opportunity
to play contract bridge in a pleasant setting.
We have been in the Glenelg area continuously for over 50 years. Members span the whole spectrum of experience and skill from Grand Masters to Beginners. Lessons are on offer to students who are beginners and supervised sessions for new and experienced players are provided.
Our clubrooms are situated in a scenic location in the Sea Rescue Squadron Hall off Barcoo Rd. West Beach. There is ample parking for our members in the spacious car park.
Invite your friends along or make new friends.
We do not charge extra for visitors outside the Adelaide Metropolitan area.
We like to feel that we are a very hospitable club and welcome new members. We feel that bridge in our club offers an ideal opportunity to enjoy an excellent social environment.
