| Bridge on the Edge Receives National Recognition for Hall of Fame Creation |
On Monday, October 6, 2025, Bridge on the Edge (BOTE), St. John’s only Duplicate Bridge Club, proudly announced the creation of its Hall of Fame and inducted three honourees as their first patrons. Randy Bennett, John Clouston, and Edward (Ted) Power, three foundational figures of the game in our province, were all voted in unanimously by the membership.
As many of you may know, Rick Callahan, has been handling the Communications & PR activities of our Club for the past few years. In his work, he has recently been in contact with our parent body in Canada, the CBF. Along with other correspondence, he recently received this warm message of appreciation from the Canadian Bridge Federation.
Hi Rick,
Congrats to BOTE on launching the NL Hall of Fame and on your inaugural inductees. That’s a fantastic initiative for your community.
Warm regards,
Sondra Blank,
Canadian Bridge Federation

| Begin-Bridge II - Back Again In November |
All LIFE MASTERS WERE ONCE BEGINNERS WHO JUST KEPT ON BEGINNING AGAIN.
On Thursday, October 23, 14 new students graduated from BOTE’s first Fall Session. Eager to learn more about this great game, they lobbied for an instructional redux. What could we say? Bridge teachers, like bridge players, are always up for one more round! So we gamely accepted the new challenge and scheduled 5 more new lessons, in consecutive Thursday mornings in the am. 10-12, to begin on Oct. 30. Roy Perry will continue to teach this seminar series which has the usual educational components balanced between practical theory & guided table play practice. Of course, lots of question periods, class-quizzes, bidding tutorials, & a few anecdotes mixed in here & there.
The classes are held at Swilers’ Rugby Club on Crosbie Rd. $125 for the full block.
Fun for all & all welcome.
