Please remember to turn your mobile phone off or set it to silent before play commences. The director may fine any player(s) who do not comply.

Players are reminded that courtesy and respect should be shown at all times to your partner, to opponents and to the TD. Players who continually ignore this rule risk being asked not to play at the club.

Please remember that, unless you and your partner have identical convention cards with you when playing at the club and make them available to your opponents, the Director has the option of insisting that you play simple systems only.
