Different locations on a handful of days of the week. You must show up with a partner and any further questions can be answered by contacting one of the Directors listed on their web site. The primary language is French, but the players are very courteous and helpful with making you feel comfortable in English, if required. In no time you will be bidding in French ... trèfles, piques, carreaux, et coeurs will become part of your vernacular before you know it. Merci. Click here or the club logo to visit their website.

I attended the September 2015 sectionals in Smiths Falls and if the play and hospitality of the hosts are any indication, beat a path to these games if geography permits. Don Grant's contact information is on their web site (for Smiths Falls) and Linda Selig's (for Perth). Click here or the club logo to visit their website.
Open pairs game, friendly and well attended. It is best to show up with a partner, but if possible the Director may end up being able to assist you if you show up alone . If going to come without a partner, email or phone someone beforehand using the contact information on their website. They have a section of their site chock full of notes from lessons based on Audrey Grant's three works in the popular Bridge Basics series. Click here or the club logo to visit their website.
