February News and Reminders
Well February certainly has started off cold, fortunately there is always a warm welcome at the bridge club, even if it can be a bit chilly temperature wise to start with. We holding our usual Open Games, Supervised Play and lessons throughout the month. A big thank you to all the people who give willingly of their time to make all these happen so we can play and improve our bridge skills. There are many hours spent in the background making things happen! If you would like to help in any way we would be happy to hear from you. Here is some information and a few reminders that you may find useful.
Supervised Play
This is proving very popular and we would ask (again) that you sign up by Sunday afternoon to help with making full tables. We understand some are having problems signing up and Regina, one of our web-ladies will be giving a ’Sign-Up Seminar’ on Monday 17th February at Noon. Bring along your computer or iPad and follow along as Regina explains the steps. It’s way too fiddly to do on your phone!! Trust me I’ve tried.
We would also ask if any of our regular players would be willing to help ‘fill-in’ with Supervised Play to contact us. All you have to do is show up on Monday morning and make up a table, it’s pretty simple, you meet new friends, it’s fun and you get to ask Tom, Deirdre, Bink or Brian questions! What’s not to like?
Duplicate Light - 99ers
We are absolutely thrilled with the number of players showing up at our Duplicate Light-99er game. However, PLEASE, sign up on the website by Thursday morning. Last week we had a whole table show up unexpectedly and it took a bit of extra time to get things going. We would also like to ask if anyone would be interested in helping out with the running of the game to help the Director of the day out. Again, let us know.
Regular Open Games
Next week on the 10th and 13th there will be the opportunity for Gold points at the club. Book your favourite partner and come along! We are hoping to add an extra game on Wednesday afternoon so stay tuned for that.
Education
Our Beginner Lessons are well subscribed and the Bridge Essentials classes taught by Roy are ongoing. Check our webpage for the topic of the week in Bridge Essentials. These classes will be going ahead even if it looks like there is nobody registered.
Cancellations
As winter has set in we want to remind you that if schools are closed, our club is closed. We don’t want anyone risking life and limb for a game of cards.
With that, stay safe, keep warm and sign up for a few games!
See you at the club!
PS If you didn’t get this as an email directly or can’t sign in to register for games, it means your membership has lapsed. This can easily be fixed! e-transfer $25 to treasurer@bridggeontheedge.ca and use the password Swilers.
