Filling Out Your Convention Card
At least one member (preferably both) of every partnership needs to have a completed convention card. The club has provided a number of instructional binders in the front bookcase to guide you through this process. Come early or stay after the game and review/complete your convention card with your partner. This will surly help in minimizing your bidding misunderstandings and a completed convention card is the law.
Slow Play
From the survey results, it seems that many people have concerns about slow play at our club. The attached document provides helpful hints on how we all can help reduce / eliminate this problem. Click here for the "Avoiding Slow Play" document.

MObridge Mentoring Program - Building Better Bridge
The last three months of 2019 had 27 mentorships active through a variety of games. We hope the New Year will be as successful. Currently we are experiencing a shortage of mentors particularly for beginner and novice players.
If you are interested, please fill out a form. If you are waiting to be paired please be patient.
Our goal is to build skills, confidence and community among our players.
Program Participation and Process
Participants may enrol either online by emailing the registration form to mentoring.program@mobridge.club or by filling out a hard copy and leaving it at the club.
The program is administered by a Mentoring Co-ordinator who will match interested pairs, and then advise both the mentor and the mentee, through email, of the match and appropriate contact information. The pair should contact each other and decide which game they will play in as a mentoring pair.
Mentorship pairs are informed the first week of each month.
Please advise the Mentoring Coordinator of your first scheduled game/session with reasonable advance notice. The pair will be added to the tracking sheet, so the game director knows to waive the Mentor’s game fees. The Mentor is entitled to 4 free games with any one mentee.
We do our best to match players, but we do not know everyone. If the fits are not compatible, please let us know directly.
Players are welcome to find their own mentees or mentors, but the requisite paperwork is mandatory (as is confirmation from the coordinator).
Mentees must fill out a form for each mentoring experience. Mentors must only complete one form. (See forms in the mentoring section of the website or on the bulletin board at the club.)
Priority will be given to first time mentees.
Mentors and Mentees will be asked to complete feedback forms after their completed mentorship. This info could be used for planning future educational offerings.
Mentors who have completed a mentorship and would like another match up need not fill out forms just email us to activate your status.
Hosts Required
Great support last week but we require a host for most games this week. Please sign up or send an email to the club with your availability. If you are coming without a partner, please ensure that you arrive at least 20 minutes before the game time so that we can match individuals.
