Please try the email first if you have access to a computer. Fees for the game are $6.00/person if you are a member of the club or $7.00/person if not a club member.
Please welcome all new players to the table. There are many inexperienced players who try to play with the advanced players and may feel uncomfortable. If you see someone that you do not recognize, please introduce both yourself and your partner. If time permits, you may want to interact with them, but do not slow down the game. New players are the key to keeping our club viable.
