| Club Managers' Weekly Message - Week of August 19th |
Members of the Palm Coast Duplicate Bridge Club:
NEWS FLASH: THE MALFUNCTIONING AIR CONDITIONER HAS BEEN REPLACED. It was nice and cool in the building last Friday.
Next, we have a couple of issues to talk about before we get to the other news.
First, we are having an ever increasing problem with trash and borrowed chairs being left at the tables. Both are getting out of hand. The solution is so simple, yet the problem seems to be getting worse.
Each player is responsible for disposing their own trash at the conclusion of the session and returning all borrowed chairs back to the table where they belong. If we all do this very simple thing, the problem will be solved immediately. Currently, at the end of each session, the Director and a handful of club members are often policing the entire playing area to restore it back to its original condition.
Let's not have to adopt a policy related to this. PLEASE, everybody just do the right thing and dispose of your own trash and return the chair you borrowed.
Next, the cell phone ringing is also getting out of hand. The club policy is to silence your cell phones prior to game time. There is absolutely no talking, texting, web surfing, or social media checking in the playing area. You may use your cell phone in the break room during a break, but using a cell phone on speaker is prohibited anywhere in the building. If you have an emergency need to have your cell phone available during the game, notify the Director and an accommodation will be made.
We have Club Championship games this week, then the week after is the final NAP week of the season.
Betty Morgan (one of our members and a member of our sister club in St. Augustine) is presenting a class on Saturday, August 24th from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM at the St. Augustine Duplicate Bridge Club. The class is "2 over 1 Game Force Revisited." You can come early for coffee, juice, and pastries, and there is no book required. Sign up at the St. Augustine club or RSVP Betty Morgan at 904.501.5031 or betmorgan@att.net. The cost is $20.00.
