Today Joe P provided us with a box of individually packaged chips!  Thank you Joe!.  Today we had a very noisy 11 tables full game of 3 rounds comprising 27 hands and 33 sets of boards.  Perhaps please instead of being quiet, bring earplugs for those whom the noise bothers or turn down your hearing aides.  5 or 6 tables were finished and 1 or 2 had not finished the first hand.  Please play in tempo.  I've had multiple requests to set a clock. When you finish the hands please do not kibbittz.  Just put the cards in the boards and move along, that actually might help with the noise.  Even those who complained of the noise at other times were the noisiest in the room.   The room echoes a lot, and the ACs are difficult to hear over so our voices get louder.  Its very difficult to control the noise especially with the winds in the music rooms!

The top pair overall were in the NS were Darrell and Brent with a 63%.  The top couple in NS were Ed and Nick (57%) followed very closely by MaryLynn and Claire with a 55%.   NS was tightly group with 4 pair in the 50-54%, and similarly EW was tightly grouped with 5 pair between 53 and 55%.

Next week Carl or Skip will be running the show.  Please sign up on line at RSVP, but if you don't have a partner, please show up anyway, you might find another lonely sole, who has not heard of RSVP.  We had a few people both on Wednesday and Thursday who showed up at the last minute.

Thank you very much for attending our game in North Hampton!
