Sunday February 22 Swiss Team Game

Why do this?   

When  you could do this 
 

Sign up now for the Sunday Swiss Team event.  It is STaC week so silver points will be awarded. 
Time: 1 pm
Cost: an extra $2 fee as it is a STaC game 
Sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board at the club. You can sign up as a team or pairs.  Special dessert as well.

********************

Dinner and Game to combat the Winter Blues

Our first dinner and game of the year will be held on  Friday March 6. 
Cost will be $30 which includes the game fee, pasta dinner, salad, wine and dessert.
Dinner will be at 6 pm and the game at 7 pm.  
An open and 750 game will be available.
Sign up sheets will be available this weekend.

The cost is higher on this game as the club is not subsidizing the event.  Game fees are $10 and the dinner plus drinks etc make up the rest of the cost.  Hopefully this cost will not deter anyone.  Everything is so expensive lately!!
