Club Managers' Weekly Message - Week of February 17th

 

Members of the Palm Coast Duplicate Bridge Club:

 

Last Thursday was our annual meeting.  We were a bit surprised at the low attendance, in fact, we had to wait 15 minutes past the scheduled start time to establish a quorum.  We did have the meeting, though, then a nice lunch afterward, followed by the game at 1:00 PM.  Minutes will be posted as soon as they are available.

Our bridge schedule is back to normal.  We have games all week, Monday through Saturday.

As we've reported, the Sectional Tournament was a great success.  The numbers have not looked better for quite some time.  It proves that we can do it, so let's do it again in May at our next Sectional.  Here are some of our Club Members who finished notably at the Tournament:
