Christmas Social Evening
Tuesday 9th December
The Christmas social event went well. After the splendid refreshments
organised by Chris Lee, there were ten tables playing in a random team event.
The winners were Carol Fisher and Peter Waldron playing with Rene Lister and
Doug Billcliffe.
Following our Christmas
collection for a chosen charity,
£200 will be sent to
the Macmillan Nurses Fund in memory of Ian Mackie.
............
Prize money will be given for first and second place. The amounts will be £2.00 for a winner and £1.00 for second place. A "set" of prize money would be £6.00 but below seven full tables no prize money would be given.
With seven and eight tables
there will be one set of prize money and directors should operate a one winner
event. This could be a Hesitation Mitchell, a Mitchell with an arrow
switch or a Howell.
With eight and a half or more tables, two sets of prize money (£12.00) will
be given for two sets of winners.
Treasurer Alister has agreed to distribute the prize money to the winners, relieving the scorers of this task.
Thursday evenings
It is good to see the number of players on Thursday
increasing. The new membership list will indicate those members who, if
available, are willing to play with someone else whose partner is not able
to play. This is a great help in keeping the numbers up. If your
regular partner is away, please check the list to find a replacement.
Remember your etiquette at the table:
greet the new
opponents,
refrain from
discussing the last hand after the boards have moved,
at all times
be polite to your partner as well as the opposition.
The game should be enjoyable for everyone
and no one should be made to feel embarrassed.
Mistakes are never made on purpose. Criticising your partner can often make the
opposition feel uncomfortable.
Wait until you get into the car park before starting the post mortem!!
