Bolton Bridge Club |
Il Bolton Bridge Club fu fondato nel 1946 in una cittadina di circa 150.000 anime che si trova una trentina di km a Nord Ovest di Manchester.
Il suo primo Presidente fu Alfred Gaisler che mise insieme una decina di Soci tra i quali faceva spicco il giocatore e direttore inglese Franklin Farrington.
Il Club, che è aperto tutti i giorni tranne la domenica, è situato in una casa vittoriana all'uopo convertita che si trova all'incrocio tra Chorley Old Road e Chorley New Road.
Bolton Bridge Club was formed in 1946, the first President
being Dr R. S. Davidson. It was incorporated as The Bolton Bridge Club Limited
in April 1952.
The first Committee of The Bolton Bridge Club Limited comprised Alfred Glaister (President), Thomas Gee (Immediate Past President), Thomas Hope Parker (Hon. Treasurer), John Ormerod (Hon. Secretary), Franklin Farrington (Hon. Tournament Director), Cyril Morris (Hon. Solicitor), Miss Nellie Fletcher, Miss Margaret Glaister, Herbert Grundy, Mrs Grace Harrison, Thomas Mason, Dr Percy Michael Overton, and James Stanley Williamson.
Several of these would later serve terms as President: Cyril Morris (1954-55), Tom Mason (1959-61), Bert Grundy (1964-65) and John Ormerod (1966-67).
Undoubtedly the best known of the members, at least in bridge circles, was Frank Farrington, the Author of Duplicate Bridge Movements.
