Team Games - Alan McIlwain |
We are running evening team games on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at 6:15 PM as long as we have enough interest. If we can, we'll play a Swiss Team game, but if we have a small or odd number of tables it will be a Round-Robin.
Each team is asked to bring a light snack or dessert dish. Bring your own drinks.
Please register ahead by the Thursday evening with Donna McIlwain at dmc3726@yahoo.com, and provide player names so we can set the games up in advance to save time.
