A special meeting of the full membership of NCBC was held on 2/3/12 to vote on new bylaws proposed by the Board. Annabelle Hills called the meeting to order at 12:-02 pm, then turned the meeting over to Jerry Lebo, Chairman of the Bylaws Committee. Jerry invited questions and comments from the floor.

After a brief question period, ballots were distributed, collected and tabulated. The proposed bylaws were approved by a margin of 64 to 14 – which included 32 proxy votes cast earlier in the week by players who were unable to attend the Friday meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 12:20.

The bylaws are now published on The Daily Recap, for logged in users only, under  Games / Club Info, where you can also find a list of the most significant changes.

Our bridge club is a non-profit organ­ization owned by its members.  The success of the club depends on the efforts of the officers, board of directors and players.

NCBC tries to provide its members with a comfortable place to play, good directors, a good atmosphere and delicious refresh­ments, as well as additional points (extra cost to the club) all for the low price of $5.00 per player.  Our officers put in efforts way above the duties called for by their positions to make this happen.

NCBC uses self seating for all normal games. Strat­ified games are required by the ACBL to be "bal­anced." This means ap­prox­imately the same num­ber of pairs in each strat­ifi­ca­tion must sit N-S as E-W, and, when mul­tiple sec­tions are used, ap­prox­imately the same num­ber of pairs in each strat­ifi­ca­tion must sit in each sec­tion.

All players are asked to arrive at least 10 minutes early to allow time to make the final seating arrangements.
