June 2026

On July 24^th, seven of our eight pairs arrived to play this match.  With there being one pair missing, each pair sat out one table.  That reduced the available match points, with there being seven pairs and 21 boards, each pair omitting 3 boards and playing the remainder three times, the average score was 18 match points.  We thank Ed Lichtig for substituting and thank all for attending.  Dean Steichen and Ed Lichtig came in first with 23.5 match points, Rich Knowles and Buddy May were second with 22 match points, and David Bushnell and Ken Main were third with 18 match points.  A score of 23.5 match points is about 65% of the available 36 match points and is considered to be “Outstanding. You’re reading the field and playing well above it.”

Dennis Snaar and Eric McNamara are leaving as regular players and we welcome Ed Lichtig and Erwin Johnson in their place.  Dennis let it be known that he could substitute.

June 2026

Dan Smith and Bud Grisanti have switched roles and Dan will now chair this activity, Bud will assist.  Bud chaired the activity since restarting after COVID.  Now was the time to relieve Bud of the pressure of chairing an activity.  Bud will continue to play as this is his choice.  We thank Bud for all he did in keeping this activity vibrant.  I will point out that Bud has been a member of SIR Branch 8 since 1/2/1992!  That is probably our longest tenure and Bud remains very active.

It is very important that all sixteen players attend the game.  In June we thank Ed Lichtig for substituting and thank all for attending.  With there being eight pairs and 21 boards, the average score is 31.5 match points.  Rod Spicer and Raleigh Davis came in first with 38 match points, Jim Regan and Steve Greene were second with 36.5 match points, and Dennis Snaar and Eric McNamara were third with 34.5 match points.  A score of 38 match points is about 60% of the available 63 match points and is considered to be “Excellent. Usually contending for first place.”

I will send out a reminder about two weeks prior to the game.  If you are unable to attend, please arrange for your substitute to support your partner and notify Dan Smith.  The final reminder will note any substitutes.

If you would like to join us, substitutes are often needed. Please contact Dan Smith to get on the substitute list. Replacement permanent partners usually come from this substitute list.  We currently have two members looking to join us, but we need four more players to create another table.
