Party time at French Broad! 

Reminder that Thursday, December 18th will be our Holiday Potluck prior to playing our favorite game.

Don’t stress and don’t feel compelled to bring anything, but all contributions are welcome for a delicious lunch and follow-on bridge snacks.

Reservations will open on Thursday, December 4th on the website.  Please make your reservations in the usual way.  Parking, as always, will be an issue.  Please park at the Armory if you can.   Those of us setting up will keep an eye out for drop-offs if you want to pull up to deliver what you are bringing before walking to the building.  If you need to park at the FBCC you may want to arrive a few minutes before noon.

Do plan to arrive around noon, and do expect a very nice time enjoying good food and fellowship with all the nice people in our sweet Brevard Bridge Club! 

Let Joan know if you need a partner.

We have made some changes to our reservation policy for our Thursday and Friday duplicate games.  While we welcome everyone, we will be giving priority to our long-time players.    Please see below.  

1. Reservations will open for Brevard Bridge Club (BBC) members 14 days before the day of the game.  BBC members will have exclusive reservation access for ten days, until 12:01 AM three days before the game.  BBC members can continue to make reservations right up until game time.
2. A Brevard Bridge Club member is defined as anyone who has played in one of our games before June 30, 2024 - about seven months ago, OR has played in one of our face-to-face games at least 20 times.
3. Non-members can email June (junepatton@gmail.com) one week before the game to request a reservation.  Non-members may not make reservations through the website.  June will add them manually starting the morning three days before the game.
4. The game will be limited to no more than 14 tables on Friday and 13 tables for both sections on Thursday.
5. Reservations will be held until 10 minutes before game time.
6. Anyone who does not show up for a game without cancelling their reservation before game time will receive a warning the first time, and have their reservation privileges suspended for two weeks the second time.

We are not requesting reservations for Tuesdays  even though you will see a reservation icon on the calendar for that day.  

Instructions for how to do make a reservation are below. 

Please note that while you must be a BBC member to make a reservation,  you DO NOT need to login to do so.  

To make a reservation:

1. Click on the Calendar link in the menu to the left (or click HERE).
2. Click on the date of the game for which you would like to make a reservation.  Reservations may be made up to two weeks in advance.
3. Click on the Reservation Required link at the bottom of the popup window.  
   
4. You will see the current list of reservations.  Enter your email address, ACBL number, or name (exactly as it appears on the website) and then click the Check button.  Your email address will tend to work best here.
   
5. Enter your partner's name (and direction, if desired), and then click Add Reservation.button.
   
6. That's it!  You're done.

If you need to cancel your reservation, you can repeat steps 1 - 5.  Your existing reservation will be displayed, and you can click the Remove button at the bottom of the popup window.  Please cancel your reservation on the website.  Do not contact June to do it.

Reservations will be held until 10 minutes before game time.
