Club News for February
I am pleased to announce Peter Galesloot will be taking over the manager position as of February 1st.
There is currently a committee deciding whether the club will carry on with giving out free play awards for club championships. Our unit decided to discontinue it for financial reasons and apparently we are the only club in Canada that gives these out and our financial picture isn't as bright as it once was and membership and attendance at our games is way down.
Coming up in February on Wednesday afternoon 4th & 11th is a two session Team Club Championship.
The Non-life master under 500 Sectional Starts Friday night February 13 and carries on through to Sunday. Brochures are available at the club and there is a copy of it in PDF format on the club website. So that means there is still the regular Friday flighted game on the 13th of Friday.
We decided to hold the Canadian Bridge Federation Sectional at The Club so everyone has a chance at silver points this month. The STaC runs afternoons on Tues. February 17, Wednesday 18th and Friday 20th. Cost is $8 per person. Clubs will be participating Canada wide.
There is a regular Club Championship Wednesday February 25 evening for the M/NM.
Congratulations to Sam Nystrom for reaching 5000 MP, Diamond Life Master.
The January 99 pair club Championship was won by Judy Haggett and Jeanne Heal for A & B and C was won by Herta Barron and Donna Currie.
In the Date Book, Francis Zichy's name was spelled wrong, there is no n in the last name.
Thank you all for your wonderful support and feedback over the last seven years, it was a pleasure serving you.
