GETTING HERE:

St Catharines is approximately 1- 1 1/2 hours driving time from Toronto. If you’re flying into Ontario from out-of-province, our recommendation is that you try to book Westjet or the newly available Canjet into Hamilton’s Mount Hope Airport. This airport is about 45 minutes from St Catharines and, if you’d like, we’ll arrange an airport pickup for you. (A $10 “donation” per person per trip covers our expenses) To arrange this service, contact Ernie Sibbett, our Transportation Chair, at 1-905-935-0066 or email to carrober@enoreo.on.ca.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

Remember to book as early as you possibly can for tournament site accommodations at the Quality Inn-Parkway (1-877-688-2324). We have a large block of rooms reserved at a preferred rate of $99 (single or double) but if the supply runs out, the Heart of Niagara Hospitality Group that will be our hosts also owns the nearby Howard Johnson’s and Holiday Inn properties and will accommodate you there for the same rate.

BRIDGE:

And, if you can mange to fit it in, there will be lots of bridge to be played during Bridge Week. In addition to the usual championship events (CNTC A & B, Women’s Teams and COPC – we’re hoping for a home field advantage!) there are two new events on the schedule. The Senior Teams will be a three-day event starting Wednesday June 23 that will determine our National Representative for the World Senior Olympiad Teams in Istanbul this fall. Pre-qualification is not necessary for this event (other than being the right age!) – check the conditions on the CBF website. Also offered for the first time will be a 2-session IMP Pairs with $prizes that will be run on Thursday June 24 – no prequalification required here either).

HOSPITALITY:

Last but certainly not least, don’t forget to drop into our Hospitality Suite that will be open every evening after play to give you a chance to unwind, find a sympathetic ear or two to fill with stories about your brilliancies (and, of course, your partner’s blunders!) while enjoying a glass of Niagara wine or local brewery product. A varied menu of food will be offered nightly along with coffee, rolls and fruit every morning. For sure, try to arrive on time for the Friday evening Kickoff Party in the Hospitality Suite so that you can say Hello to the finest group of volunteer organizers and workers a co-chairperson could ever hope to have assembled!
