Conveniently located off Hwy 406, across from the Pen Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario, we are proud to have nearly 300 members. We are a member owned, and volunteer run club drawing from the entire Niagara Region.

BCON believes in fostering the game of Bridge, by catering to players of all levels. We have games for new players, experienced "card sharks," and everything in between. Games are available most days and we offer both face to face and online. Please keep checking our website for our up to date game schedule. We are pleased to have an active education program, whether you have never played cards before, need a brush up, or want to advance your game to the next level. Of course, with all the brain work that goes on in Bridge, we love to socialize and have fun! We hold regular social events to give everyone a chance to mix, mingle and make new friends. Please join our mailing list to receive up coming information.

We always welcome visitors, and hope you'll come to one of our games. Do you need a partner? We'll do our best to help, just send us an email.

BCON is expanding our online bridge games. We have joined the “SE Club of Clubs Online Bridge Collective,” which you may have seen on BBO as “SE Carolina.”

What is the SE Club of Clubs Online Bridge Collective? (also know as SE Carolina Online Bridge) It is comprised of 180+ ACBL-sanctioned bridge clubs from all over North America.

What does this mean for our Club? Every time one of our players joins one of the SE Carolina online games, we get a portion of the entry fee. We don’t have to pay a Director or do any of the work. At the end of the month, they send us a cheque. Most importantly, it helps our Club financially as we are still recovering from the effects that COVID had on Face to Face games.

What does this mean for you? When you’re not playing in one of our F2F games or either of our online games, we invite you to play at any of SE Carolina’s online games which start at 9:30 am and run throughout the day. They offer beginner games right up to Open level with prices ranging from 3 to 6 BBO dollars. A full list of games is posted weekly and can be viewed at SE Carolina On-line Bridge. The match points awarded are the same colours as those awarded in a F2F game - Black, Silver, Red. Note that if you play in a partner game, the game results will be available on BBO, and on ACBL Live for Clubs. Only our own BCON online games will be available on our website. 

How to join? Once you are logged into BBO, go to Virtual Clubs, then ACBL-North America, then in the top right corner type Carolina in the Search box. Their list of games will appear.

If you’re not sure how to play online, click here “All About Playing Online”.  Here you will find lots of information and if you're still stuck, send us an email to info@bcon.club, and one of our experts will help you. 

We need your support! If you are currently playing online, but not with our club, please consider playing in the SE Carolina online games. This is a great opportunity for you to play in an ACBL online game and support your club at the same time. We need you.

At BCON we love to play Bridge! So, incase you can't get enough bridge from playing at our face to face games in St. Catharines, or if you just haven't made it out to see us yet… a whole other world awaits you in the online space!  Online, you play with real people, you can play with people you know, in a game you know. You can play with your regular partner, or you can find a partner then and there, at the game. What's this all about??? If you're not sure about online bridge, or haven't had the chance to try it out, click here to learn all about how to play online!

We hope to see you at one of our online games, or at one of our SE Carolina partner games. And, of course, we always want to see you in person at a real table!

For 2024-25, BCON has chosen to support Hospice Niagara. Here at The Bridge Centre of Niagara, we believe in supporting local charities within the Niagara Region.

We have a long standing relationship with the Alzheimer Society of Niagara, and each year around the Summer Solstice in June, we run an event for "The Longest Day," which raises funds to support those with Alzheimers in our local area. In 2024, our members donated a very impressive $5,600 for this great cause. 

In addition, each year, a local charity is chosen for which we raise funds through special games and social events. In 2023 our selected charity was Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold, for which we raised $615 in cash, as well as large amounts of food donations. 

We are very proud of our members, who continue to generously support all of these wonderful organizations! You can see some of the recognitions in the photos accompanying this post, or by clicking here. (Please be patient, as it loads onto your screen.)
