During October, ACBL appreciates its clubs and gives clubs TRIPLE BLACK point games called Club Appreciation games. Extra points at these games are FREE. 
We'll play Club Appreciation games the first week (10/6-9) and the last week (10/27-30) of October.
Come and get some of the FREE extra points, but please don't hog them all for yourself!

Our next Thursday game is October 22. Cordell will give a short talk on 'Four Suit Transfers' at 10:30 before our next game. Using Stayman and Transfers together provides a powerful way for responder to direct the partnership to the right contract after opener starts with a No Trump bid.
Here's our Thursday schedule for the rest of the year:

Thursday October 22 |

Thursday November 12 |

We start at 11:00 and finish before 3:00, and play about 18-22 hands. The cost is just $2. The game is perfect for beginning players and mentoring pairs. We play a slower paced game on Thursdays. It's a great way to learn. We have a lot of fun and talk about the hands as we play them. These games award ACBL masterpoints and are configured as a "4-Is-Enough" game. Anyone may play, but players with more than 1000 masterpoints must partner with someone who holds less than 500.
Please plan to join us. If you can, please let Howard or Cordell know you're intending to play.
