MISSION STATEMENT 🦉
The Bridge Connection provides a safe pleasant atmosphere for players of all levels to come and play comfortably.
Everyone is welcome at this club, and no one will ever be refused a game for not having a partner, or being able to pay the admission. The only requirement to play at the Bridge Connection is the propensity to be kind and engage in great sportsmanship.
Coffee and tea are always provided, as well as treats and snacks. The bridge club provides much of it, but many of the players keep the goodies replenished. Thank you to all who contribute!

I appreciate your kindness, patience, and your participation.

Telephone Connection ☎️
For phone calls or texts to the Bridge Connection, it's Jill's cell phone:
902-452-8286
Messages can be left, or if you prefer - texts for quicker response.
For 'emergency' phone calls TO players during a club session, it is permissable to use the above number, and I (Jill) will get the message immediately to the teacher or director running the bridge session - as players will usually have their own personal cellphones muted while in session.
Carpooling Conundrums? 🚁
Are you eager to play at the Bridge Connection but are anxious about travelling from another area of HRM (Bedford, Halifax, Sackville, etc), either because of:
- the price of gas
- the travel time spent on the road?
Have you considered pairing (or teaming) up with others in the same boat (or, ahem, car)? If you are interested, let me know, and I can possibly link you with others from the same area who might be attending bridge sessions at the same time as you. It's a fabulous way to make new friends! And possibly even future bridge partners!
