New Stamford Club is Open
Stamford Bridge Club moved in to our new Clubhouse last weekend. It is a purpose built Clubhouse with 25 table facility which we own. It was paid for mainly by loans from members, and money in our new build fund. It is very spacious with all the facilities of a modern Clubhouse. The address is - Stamford Bridge Club, Exeter Gardens, Stamford, PE9 2RN. The first Club session at the new premises was on Monday afternoon 28th November, when we had 15 tables in play. It is a very impressive facility with excellent parking and easy access from all places outside Stamford. We are hoping to retain the old Club telephone number 01780 757789. We have a temporary one at the moment - 01780 756528, Brendan Alston (Club Press Officer)
