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.  We are transitioning back to live play - see details below.

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/.

Special Games in March

March 6th -ACBL Wide Seniors Game

March 20th & 23rd - Club Championship (Extra Black MP)

March 30th -  Individual Game

Our Supervised Play Sessions are running really well with many, new, eager aficionados filling out tables on Monday mornings from 9:30 until noon. Occasionally, a table will have an uneven complement and bridge is just no fun unless you have a foursome. When there are only two or three at a table, the supervisors have to scramble to find someone who is willing to fill out the table

In order to help with  this process we would like to compile a Volunteer List of players willing to donate a little of their time to help Tom & Deirdre run a smooth Monday morning session. Nothing is required of you, except to play bridge in a normal fashion, realizing of course that there are students at your table. The first half hour, 9:30 - 10:00am is a short lesson by Tom so fill in players only have to arrive at 10:00 in time to play. 

If you would have the time & interest to help out, please give Tom or Deirdre your contact information and wait for a call on Sunday evening before the game on Monday. They can be reached in person at the club or through the supervised play email superbridge@bridgeontheedge.ca

Thanks for your help! 

During the Covid crisis, our Club, like many, had a serious revenue shortage that threatened its very existence. We were able to withstand those extensive losses due to two main factors, first, previous Boards had wisely reserved a ‘rainy day’ contingency fund that allowed us to continue to pay our bills and second, we made serious financial cuts to our operating budget, including Director fees and the Manager’s salary, in order to survive the lean months.

Previously, when we had a strong, steady revenue stream, the Club carried extensive insurance to protect all its volunteers, Directors, teachers and the Club Manager from any personal liability, that might arise in the course of carrying out their duties. The insurance cost over $2,000 a year, significant for a small club. At the fall ‘22 AGM it was proposed and accepted by the Membership that this insurance be cancelled as a financial saving. It was agreed that the actual risks of sustaining personal injury from playing bridge were minimal and that we all could, as responsible adults, accept those risks collectively and individually.

It was also decided to include a waiver of responsibility, to protect our staff and volunteers, in the conditions of Membership to reflect the lack of insurance coverage.

Our new Waiver of Liability form is attached. Please take the time  to read it carefully. There are several ways that it can be returned to us:-
