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.

Members who want to use the member's functions (ie bookings etc), please ensure you've accessed the site using the bridgeweb link bridgewebs.com/onedge/.

The ACBL is divided in to 25 geographically representative districts. Our club, BOTE, is in District 1 which basically is Eastern Canada as far as Quebec. There is a District committee which brings local issues forward to the main ACBL administration. For more than twenty years Marilyn Bennett has been Newfoundland’s advocate and representative on the District committee. The responsibility has now been passed on to our Manager Rahul Chandra. We would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to Marilyn for her years of service and wish Rahul well as he embarks on a new venture. 

Next week is ACBL Stardust week, you can win gold at your very own club!  Yes at BOTE!  Monday 22nd and Thursday 25th there will be a smattering of gold included in any points that you earn.  Too good to be true?  Not at all.   Further more and also, on Wednesday 24th it is an ACBL Charity game where we compete against everyone in the ACBL in the same game and therefore there will be more points than usual awarded to any skillful/lucky winners  . .  of course there have to be at least five tables to qualify for points but we can do that, let’s play Wednesday!!  Sign up for all or some of these special games with your best, most skillful partner.

And a final reminder for the Volunteer week luncheon.  The Board wants to thank all our helpers who make our club work.  Please sign up by Wednesday so we can get the right number of sandwiches and cookies.

See you at the club!

Looking for Help

On Thursday 20th June we are holding our annual ACBL LONGEST DAY event, which is a fundraiser for  ALZHEIMER'S research. This terrible disease touches so many lives and deeply affects families.  Madonna is heading up the BOTE committee this year and is looking for ideas and assistance with organizing and selling 50/50 tickets at our games. Please consider helping with this fun and worthwhile event. Madonna can be contacted at LongestDay@bridgeontheedge.ca.  All proceeds we raise go to our local St John’s Alzheimer’s Association.
