Tournament:
Problems
were discussed with monies. Some classes were supposed to be free and were
charged. There was some
disappointment in overall attendance. Table total was 1607. Tournament before
storm was 4 tables short of 2000. Complaints
were heard from those in attendance of "temperature control", being
too cold. Lack of coffee especially at the evening sessions was another
complaint. Entrance and
registration places not clearly marked. One couple complained about too many events
going on at the same time. Dinner for the 199er's ACBL was very good and well
attended.
Ed
Guardanapo made a motion to give special recommendation and THANK YOU to Lynne
Logan, Tournament Chair and all the workers for a job well done, seconded by
Jane Hardin, all agreed. A special mention to Kelly Moses for hiring boys to help
haul and set-up the tables. She paid the boys for the job and donated the money
to the club.
