Kingston-upon-Thames Café Bridge fundraising event for Learn English at Home and First Aid Nursing Yeomanry

Tuesday 29th July 2025 10:45am - 4:00pm

We are pleased to announce Kingston-upon-Thames' inaugural Café Bridge organised by Michael Brown acting as agent for the Mayor's Charitable Trust supporting Learn English at Home and First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. It's the initiative of His Worship Councillor Noel Hadjimichael, Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames. The sun always shines on Café Bridge, and it is impossible not to have a good time, especially in the company of London and Surrey's friendliest bridge players.

Kingston-upon-Thames Café Bridge is now provisionally full. However, the organisers are looking for space to expand the event.
