To date, 65% of our Club membership have paid their Annual Subscription Fees.                                

Thank You to all those that have paid.

THE CLOSING DATE FOR RECEIPT OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE IS 23^rd OCTOBER 2020.

CBAI require payment of their Affiliation Fees by the end of October, therefore we must apply the above cut-off date.

To help the remaining 35% of the membership, the club will be open to accept fees on the dates and times below. Bank Transfer and the Postal options are still available.

Monday 28^th Sept from 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm.
Tuesday 29^th Sept from 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm.
Wednesday 30^th Sept from 11.00 am to 12 Noon.

Please ensure that the EXACT amount of €60, in cash or cheque, (made payable to Malahide Regional Bridge Club), is in a sealed envelope with your NAME and SCOREBRIDGE NUMBER clearly visible.

If your payment is not received by the 23^rd October, it  will be deemed that you no longer wish to remain a member of MRBC.

Should this be the case then your MRBC Scorebridge & CBAI Affiliation numbers will be invalid, and you will be removed from our BBO database. Future membership will involve placement on a waiting list and payment of the entrance Fee of €100, plus Subscription Fee applicable at the time.

To be fair to all our paying Club members, we will not be in a position to offer a leave of absence to any member.

If members are paying their annual subscriptions by cheque, the cheque must be made payable to "Malahide Regional Bridge Club".

The bank will not accept cheques made payable to any other name. Common mistakes are :-

• MRBC
• CBAI Malahide Bridge Club
• Malahide Bridge Club

Many members have changed their e-mail addresses from Eircom to some other provider, over the last few months. If you have done this, but not informed the club, you may not be in receipt of the various communications being sent out. So please let us know, preferably to technology@mrbc.ie

There have been a few instances in past competitions, whereby some folk have claimed an "Undo", (usually for a genuine mistake in bidding or whatever), which has been accepted by some opponents, and then others have claimed, and had their claim rejected by their respective opponents. Also, on occasions some players have not claimed an "Undo" at all, either because they were not aware of the option, or because they felt it was somewhat unsporting.

To level the playing field, and to avoid any confusion in the future, there will be no "Undo's" in any MRBC competition run on the BBO platform.

So take care in your bidding and play. "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", as the saying goes..................

♠ ♥ We have received some feedback regarding anonymity whilst playing the MRBC games on BBO. It is of course your prerogative to remain anonymous, but perhaps many folk don't actually know that you can have your name appear by entering it in your BBO Account Profile. Just log on to BBO, select the "Account" tab, type your name where it says "Real Name", and finally hit "Save Changes". Now, when folk arrive at your table, they'll have the option of knowing who you are. ♦ ♣
