Welcome to the website of Bridge on the Edge, based in St. John's, NL, Canada.  In 2016 we became a player owned bridge club.  We support a respectful culture, both at the bridge table and in all BOTE communications, for the enjoyment and growth of all members.  

Please check with any Board member if you need additional information.

Monday, December 16, was a very busy day for Bridge on The Edge. In the morning, at the Legion on Blackmarsh Rd., we held our AGM which had a record turnout of Club members in attendance, this is very gratifying to see. To begin the proceedings all of the Board Executives spoke in turn, reviewing the main issues that were topical during the past year. The news was the most positive we have had in recent years in terms of membership growth, financial stability, and educational opportunities. After the short informative talks, the Nomination Committee took the floor in order to fill three vacant positions left by retiring members who had served their two year term. Pramila Paddock was elected Vice-President, while Nina Power and Kevin Hogan were elected as members at large. We welcome the addition of new knowledge and experience these Board Members will bring. The meeting then moved into Open Forum and a very lively discussion ensued with a number of innovative ideas from the floor put forth for the new Board to consider. (For those unable to attend that day, we will post a summary of the AGM Minutes on our website.)

At noon, the attendees moved next door to enjoy a delicious Christmas Turkey Dinner, professionally prepared and served piping hot by the Royal Canadian Legion staff . It was a wonderful meal indeed.

We then hitched up our sleighs and sped over to the Club to Ho Ho Ho our way into the Santa Shuffle Pairs and enjoyed some additional afternoon socialization and holiday treats.

At the North Pole, when the naughty & nice list was posted, Festive Fran & Gringerbread Greely won both A & B sections while Kris Kringle Kook & Prancer Pat tied for first with Santa Sharon & Elizabeth the Elf for the C strata.

In the far East, Rudolph Roydeer & Blitzen Bink came in first in A, while Jolly Jim & Feast of Stephen won in B. In C, Mistletoe Michelle & Merry Mary, took first place.

A great time was certainly had by all.

HAPPY OLD & NEW YEAR

In addition to the continued success of the Club, looking back on 2024, it was a very good year for individual accomplishments. We celebrated some top performances from 2023 in a Milestones ceremony held in late May. Seventeen players were honoured, as several of them enjoyed significant quantum leaps in their bridge careers. Throughout the entire year numerous players also gained valuable tournament travel experience and more players attained  advances in their Life Master standings. We are proud to honour them in the upcoming 2025 Milestones Ceremony.

We look forward to 2025, with an eye to new achievements, accomplishments and good times at the bridge table.
