| Joker System |
We are trialling a Joker System for the summer months. If you know that your partner will not be available for play on a particular Monday evening and you would like to play, please volunteer to act as Joker and put your name, section and mobile number in the Joker Book, which will be left at the top of the room. Members who wish to play and who don't have a partner for a particular evening are invited to let Committee know by submitting an email note to the website. Please click on the link Membership. Fill in your name and in the message area indicate that you need a partner and a date. You will receive an acknowledgement by return. This action needs to be taken in good time for us to act, i.e. not a half hour before play! If it is possible to match you up with a Joker you will be notified by email or mobile. This system will only work with the full co-operation of members, in entering their names to volunteer as Joker and in using the email system to contact the website.
Members, who offer their services and play as Joker, will have a "free" game that evening, i.e. they will not be charged table money. If the system works during the summer months we shall continue it into the new year commencing in September.

| Annual Calendar & Masterpoints Sheet |
Members' Masterpoints sheets and annual calendars are now available. Please collect yours if you haven't done so already from tables inside the doors to hall. If Knocklyon is not your home club, you will have to collect your Masterpoints sheet from the club that you first registered in. Also due to a fault on the printer most of the sheets this year are not laminated so you need to be careful in separating your membership card from the sheet!

| Pairs Winners 2019 |
The First major competition of the year took place over two weeks in October. Every grade in the club took part. Prizes were awarded in every category. I wish to particularly commend our Beginners who participated in large numbers in the O'Boyle Cup. They acquitted themselves very well. Already we can discern the emergence of a few future Master players in that group. Congratulations to all the winners and our thanks too to Brian Lalor and Bernard Higgins, our Tournament Directors.
