For those on the dealing rota if you check on the calendar items, right hand side - home page, if it is your turn to prepare the boards for the week you will see your name on the Friday spot indicating you will be preparing the boards for the week commencing the following Monday.   A new dealing rota is available for you to look at.

Our club really wishes to make sure that people turning up without a partner do not go home without a game.   However and especially for our club members, if you are coming along on your own please make sure that you arrive at the club at least 15 minutes before the game starts as the director for the evening may end up having to change the movement he has already input on the computer, to accommodate a half table.   This delays the start of the game for all other club members and also means a later finish.   I would really appreciate your support on this.  Our club has nine directors and when it is their turn they arrive early in order to set up the computer for the evening's game and are the last to leave.    They do this service for our club willingly and without any payment whatsoever and it is up to all of us at all times, whether it is one of our ordinary club events or a special event, to appreciate the work they do and to show them the respect they undoubtedly deserve.   Boards for week commencing 15th February will be prepared by  Jim and Trevor.   Our thanks to John and David for preparing this week's hands.
