| Thanks for Renewing, and Welcome to our New Members! |
On behalf of the Board of the Bridge Centre of Niagara, I want to thank all of you that have participated in our “March Madness” membership drive this past month. Thanks go to all the persons that helped during this busy time.
I want to give a special welcome to the 18 new members that have joined our family of bridge players at BCON. We hope your experiences will be positive as you enjoy this fabulous game together with us.
Also want to thank those of you that have renewed your memberships with us. These past 2 years have been a challenge for all of us, and while I know some of you have not agreed with all the decisions we have taken as a board, your continued support means a lot to us. Shortly, you will see that there will be information on our web page that will be only available to you as members. We hope you value this and we will endeavour to make your experience at the Bridge Centre a positive one.
Then there are some of you that have not yet decided to rejoin us, and we understand your hesitancy, whether it is related to our Covid policies, or just not yet ready to get back to playing at the club. We expect to continue to offer Virtual games on BBO and we are reviewing the number of games we are going to offer face to face. As always, we know there are many sides to any discussion, but we are going to be listening carefully to the Health Experts in the Niagara region for guidance on our future lifting of restrictions.
Membership cards for those that have paid will be available at the club and can be picked up when we are open on Wednesdays or Thursdays of each week. At the same time, you will be able to sign up if you choose to renew your membership going forward. The director will take your information when you come to the club, or you can send a cheque or e-transfer as was available in March.
Spring seems to be close and with that, comes the opportunity to get out and enjoy the things we can do here in Canada. Thank you for including playing bridge at BCON as one of things you will continue to enjoy.
For the Board of BCON,
Dena Jones
Webmaster & Membership Chair

| BCON F2F Game Safety Protocol Update |
With the relaxing of mask requirements announced by the Province and being implemented today, many of you may be asking what is the present position of the BCON board?
For guidance we are taking input from you our members and the guidance of the local Niagara Health authorities. Generally, our members fall into the higher risk category, so we are being very cautious in relaxing our mask and vaccination rules.
For the present time we will continue to ask all players to confirm their vaccination status if requested by either a director or a person at the front door who represents the BCON board. As well, we ask all members to continue to wear a mask for the time they are inside the club. During this period there will be no coffee or refreshment service inside the club. You are invited to bring your own beverage that you can carry with you from table to table.
This is a very fluid situation, and as things change, we will keep you updated on our position regarding these matters.
Our goal is to have fun and enjoy this beautiful game with our safety being of prime importance. Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our Bridge Centre of Niagara.
