In case of emergency—remain calm—and

additional exits are located at the end of the hallway and in the
kitchen area.
For safety and cleaning reasons, we ask that you

all wet or soiled footwear on the mats provided.
During winter months, we recommend that you

to storing coats and boots, this room also contains nametags and our
lost-and-found basket.
Members are welcome to borrow from our wonderful
selection of bridge books and fiction.
If you have books to donate, please leave them in the
container
provided.
The bulletin boards contain updated information
about our
games, courses and workshops, as well as other local and regional
bridge events
and tips for your game. Please
take time
each week to look them over. Help
yourself to pencils, travelers, convention cards and team league sheets
available
on the metal shelf unit. Other
supplies
and cleaning materials are stored in the closet to the left of the

Your understanding and assistance make the club
function. Most
players help at the club
on a volunteer basis. An
easy way to
help is with the game set-up chores, which require only about 20
minutes before
and after the game. There
are many other
opportunities to volunteer; please check the volunteer sheet to see how
you can
help.
Our website is a convenient way to find out what
is going
on at the club: you
will see information
about games, courses and events, and even our bylaws.
Players especially enjoy the quick links to
the results for each game and hand records for sanctioned games,
available by
the time you arrive home. Check
it
frequently for updates and announcements, which are also e-mailed at
your
request.
The top scorers from each of our games are posted
in The
Guelph Mercury newspaper every Monday.
Check this out. We’re
sure you’ll
see your name there from time to time.
You will find a phone list of our current members
at the club. Please
use it to find a partner before a
game. If you are
unable to make a
connection on your own, come out and we will pair you with another
player. You are
always guaranteed a game!
It is essential that all players conduct
themselves in a
respectable and orderly manner with consideration for the rights of
fellow
players. In order
to encourage proper
conduct and cooperation, the club may impose discipline, up to and
including
dismissal. If you
have any concerns in
this regard, please speak to your game director or contact one of our
board directors. Be
cool!
Bridge is fun.
While playing, please remember
to:
Greet opponents in a
friendly manner.
Encourage new and
beginning players.
Congratulate good
bidding and play.
Call the director
whenever there is a concern.
Please do NOT:
Use profanity or
make any negative gestures.
Give gratuitous
lessons or analysis of hands.
Argue with the game
director.
When the session is over, please take a few
moments to:
Close your bidding
box and place it on your side table.
Straighten your
table, tablecloth and side table and wipe off any stains.
Slide chairs up to
the card table.
Turn a card face up
in each used duplicate board and stack the boards in
numerical order, then return them and
the table card to the directors table.
Place used glasses
and mugs in the bins provided.
Return pencils to
their container.
Dispose of candy
wrappers, etc.
