SOCIAL BRIDGE GAMES HAVE RESUMED - DUPLICATE ON MAY 9TH.
We're pleased to announce the Sun City Grand Board of Directors have approved resumption with strict limitations of the Monday Afternoon, Wednesday Evening and Thursday Afternoon Social bridge games for club members only.
 Sunday Afternoon Duplicate bridge games for club members and ACBL guests only.
There are two very important mandates that must be absolutely observed:
All players must have proof of their completed Covid 19 vaccine regime AND must wear face masks at all times while inside the Chaparral building at the game.  (the detailed mandated BOD guidelines Version 5, March 11, 2021 are available online at Grandinfo.com)
We realize that many of us don't agree with these mandates.  They are not negotiable. Compliance must be 100% or we risk cancellation of your game.  If you do not agree, please for the sake of your fellow members, don't come to the game.  
The Bridge Club SCG BOD approval is attached to this email as a PDF and Word Document.
The follow rules are specific to the Monday and Wednesday Evening games
