hi all,

welcome to guest ashley miller. we hope her visit was enjoyable and welcome her back. congratulations to group winners: dave mead, mike gaynor, tim frank and brian vagg.

�we wish to remind all players that when they leave without playing out all their matches they may be taking away from others on their table who were looking forward to more play. all wednesday evening players should recognize that on some occasions they may play as late 9:45 pm. in order to minimize these occasions and allow for the special situations that confront all of us from time to time, effective whenever our numbers exceed 18, the default will be 3 of 5 matches, however, upon consent of both players in any match, 2 of 3 may be played. this option should speed things along when there is a special need to do so. 

this past saturday, many of us met to discuss various issues that have surfaced during the past and inaugural year of our club. the meeting was, in my opinion, very successful as some new ideas were brought forward that hopefully will benefit the club in the future. whether to implement those ideas will now be voted upon the members of the steering committee that were present for the discussion. the outcome should be available and posted here within a couple weeks. thanks to everyone who attended.
