We are aware of the flaws in the reservation system. We have no control over it.

When it does not work, just come to the club and play.

Need a partner? Contact the partnership co-chairs (Barb Balents and Juliene Richards) at sbbc.partnership@gmail.com
Drop-ins are welcome but finding a partner is not guaranteed.
