NOVEMBER ANNOUNCEMENTS
We have all heard that Duplicate Bridge is declining in numbers and that was before COVID. The pandemic has hurt a lot of bridge clubs around the country; many clubs have closed or are closing, other clubs are reorganizing and other clubs are limping along and trying to figure out how to stay open. We would be in the latter category.
Your BOD has been working diligently, putting in long hours to try to keep a game in Denton for you. I will be honest and say we have had some butting of heads and differing opinions in what our best direction is. We are on the same page when we tell you we are tired and need your support in many ways, now and in the future to remain open. The expression, “It takes a village…” well we need the village and the town!
We need volunteers to call members present and past and invite them to play. We need you to play. We need teachers to bring new players in our game (Yes, we will pay you). We need not only ideas but folks willing to bring them to fruition. We need you to play…OOPS but we really need the play commitment from you! And we need to advertise and someone willing to take the lead on this project. We need you to say yes when a BOD member asks for your help!
We need you to play!:) I can’t help myself…
Now for the good news…We will reopen Denton Bridge Studio for F2F games on November 9th! Vaccinations are still required to play; if you have not played, please bring proof of vaccination. Our schedule will be as follows:
Tuesday 499 @ 10:30
Thursday Open @ 10:30
Saturday Open @ 10:30
CAN WE COUNT ON YOU TO PLAY?
The price of all games, for all members will be $8. The first two weeks we are open in November will be Championship Games with no additional charge. Our Virtual Game Schedule will remain the same.
Looking ahead: A Christmas Party and Town Hall meeting has been scheduled for Saturday, December 11th @ 10:30. The game will start at 11-11:15 to accommodate the town hall. Details are still pending as far as the party. The town hall will be hosted by your BOD and we will answer questions regarding Denton Bridge Studio’s future.
It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get dirty…
Where can you help?
We need you to…
