MObridge Survey and Premises Update

The Board has received and considered the results of the Member survey concerning the return to face-to-face (F2F) play.  The Board was pleased with the response rate and thanks the Members for participating.  The results of the survey are available for review by the Members in the Members Only section of the Mobridge Website. 

The Board’s takeaway from the survey results is that while there is an encouraging indication that the Members will eventually return to F2F play, there is less enthusiasm for an immediate return.  A minority of Members would like to come back as soon as possible but a majority are expressing some reluctance. 

Like everything else COVID 19 related, there is significant uncertainty.  Nevertheless, the Board has concluded that we should make arrangements for F2F play to resume during the first quarter of 2022.  Not as soon as possible and not an indefinite delay.  Our expectation is that the COVID 19 situation will stabilize so that Members that were reluctant or undecided about returning to F2F play at the time of the survey will be more comfortable by then.  We recognize that this is a compromise that will be too slow for some and too fast for others.  The Board thinks it reflects a cautious balance. 

With that intention, the Board continues its work to identify and secure a new location (preferably rented dedicated premises but possibly shared) for F2F play starting in the first quarter of 2022.  The exact timing of the return to F2F play in that window will be determined by a combination of the developing COVID 19 guidelines and the details of securing the new premises.  The return to F2F play will comply with COVID 19 health guidelines applicable at the time.  

The Board will continue to provide updates as to our progress on premises and return to F2F play.
