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!!
