President's Message

Annual club dues will remain unchanged--$36 for adults and $24 for juniors dues are collected Oct. 1st. the club's fiscal year runs Oct.1 - Sept. 30
Non-members may particpate in tournaments for a fee of $10 which will be applied toward a prize fund for the tournament played. Should the non-member join the club before the tournament ends he or she will recieve a $5 credit toward membership dues.
We are searching for a storage bin to keep in Room A-B for our equipment, pending Community Center approval.
There are no immediate plans to extend club hours to include a 2nd site or night until we can gauge the size of the club after pending renwal memberships.
It was resolved that the WCC will not sponsor a Grand Prix style tourney out of it's own funds due to our not-for- profit status. However some of the membership at large may promote such a tournament, guarantying the prize funds out of their pockets and donating proceeds to the Club if they wish to do so.
We plan to purchase new Vinyl Playing Boards to replace old paper ones.
We have established guidelines for future InterClub Meets as a result of our recent experience with an unnamed club:: No alcohol will be allowed on our premises. Participants in inter club meets must be current members of the club which they are here to represent, as established by membership lists-- no ringers. Board Pairings/Alignment are a determinant of Rating and will not be negotiated.
