| New Game Fee and Membership Fee for 2024/2025 - $5 and $10 |
The club's executive board has decided that our club is financially healthy, thanks to the participation levels of all of our members at our new location. As a result the fee that we collect at each game will be lowered to $5 (from $7), effective immediately until the end of 2025. We will re-evaluate the club's finances after the year to determine if changes to the fee are needed. The non-member game fee is reduced to $6 (from $8).
In addition, the board has lowered the annual membership fee to $10 (from $15). This will also be re-evaluated at the end of the year.
We truly appreciate everyone's support of the club while navigating the uncertainties caused by the pandemic and we hope that you continue to enjoy your games, without searching for toonies for every visit.

1. Correction of Scores
Occasionally the score entered into Bridgemates for a hand does not reflect the actual outcome at the table. Even though these results may have been accepted by the E/W team, at times such errors are not noticed before pushing the accept button. Since we always want the scores posted online and in ACBL to reflect the actual bridge play and not clerical errors, we will allow scores to be corrected with the following rules applied:
1. The request for change needs to be given to the director or club manager prior to the start of the next game, via email or in person.
2. If both partnerships agree with the change, the scores will be updated.
3. If only one partnership agrees with the change, the director will decide whether they think the change should be made. (This provides two out of three among the parties involved: NS, EW and Director)
Note that after a change has been accepted, it may take several days for the update to be made due to logistics and email exchanges required.

| The following conditions will govern our play |
1. Masks are optional but must be worn if you are asked to do so by someone at the table. Masks are available at the club.
2. Bring your own drinks/snacks. We are allowed to use the fridge.
3. Use hand sanitizers regularly. They will be available at the Masonic Hall.
4. We all practice good hygiene and take measures to protect our health and the health of others. That means if you are sick, stay home.
