Slow Play
From the survey results, it seems that many people have concerns about slow play at our club. The following link provides helpful hints on how we all can help reduce / eliminate this problem. Click here for "Avoiding Slow Play"
Winter Has Arrived!
And so, has the cold and flu season. Please remember to cover your mouth if you cough and use the hand sanitizers placed throughout the club. The handling of playing cards can easily transfer germs from one member to another.
Reservations
Please remember that all reservations must be made in person or via telephone the evening before or the morning of the game. We are looking at alternative scheduling systems but until we find an alternative this is the only way the Director in charge of the game can process your requests. Most games do not require reservations however at times Thursday and Friday afternoons meet or exceed our 25-table capacity.
New Sunday Open Stratified Game - Beginning January 19, 2020
For a limited time, this game will be offered at the special rate of $5.
In addition, for the months of December and January, the overall winners from each game with a minimum of 1000 MP rating will be given a free play valid only for the Sunday afternoon game. Come out and enjoy a Sunday afternoon at your club.
Lease Renewal Project
The lease on the Mobridge facility expires in mid-September 2020.
As many of you are aware, our ability to negotiate a fair lease rate for the location has been critical to our ability to grow and stabilize the bridge club.
We have formed a committee to take charge of the lease negotiation. The committee includes Doreen Finley, Ann Shaw, Bob Gray and Jon Turner. The committee will develop a Mobridge strategy for renewing the lease. This will include a good understanding of the current market conditions for our space, a good awareness of alternatives if we must move, the financial implications for the club and recommendations for better utilization of the space if the decision is to stay.
The committee will be meeting with the property manager in mid-January and will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors based on that meeting.
Housekeeping
Winter is coming. Please clean off your boots before you come into the club. Every effort made to maintain a clean and welcoming club is greatly appreciated.
Please remember to pick up your dishes and personal garbage at the end of the game. This is your club, please help us in maintaining our high standards.
