Play at the Clubs

There will be special points paid at area clubs during October and November. 
    October is Membership Appreciation Month, so check with your clubs for when those games will be offered.  Clubs may be offering Pairs Games and/or Swiss Teams. 
    Also, be aware that District 8 STaC is coming up November 2-8. If you still are in need of Silver Points, STaC games are an excellent opportunity to garner Silver.
