Lessons: The Belleville Duplicate Bridge Club offers
bridge lessons to newcomers and intermediate players. Enquiries may be made
by telephoning the club at (613) 962-7639 and leaving a message, or by

Special Games: For newcomers and players new to duplicate bridge, the club offers two games. On Monday evenings, the game is limited to Non-Life
Masters and is stratified to give
the less experienced players a better opportunity to shine.
Our Wednesday afternoon mentoring game is especially designed for new and
inexperienced players. The game is Open, but it is handicapped according to masterpoints. New and inexperienced players are partnered with more experienced players
as mentors. The purpose of this program is to encourage new and inexperienced
players to try duplicate bridge. Between rounds and after the game, the
newer players may ask their mentors about bidding, play or defense problems
to improve their expertise. A sincere effort is made by all the players who
participate in this game to make it a friendly and helpful experience. The club has a Zero Tolerance policy; unacceptable behaviour is not tolerated at any game. In particular, players at this game are encouraged to be friendly and helpful at all times.
