Hey unit board and friends,
You'll want to set up the bridge club for the sectional on the evening of
Friday, August 22. Since it requires quite a bit of hefting and
rearranging, I'm copying Milo in the hopes they'll be available to help
out. (Milo you might even ask Aiden to come help.)
The community room might be in use on Friday during the day, so there's no
guarantee that you'll be able to get in before the early evening. You can
start on the main bridge club before then. I'll cancel "social bridge"
for
Friday afternoon.
In the main bridge club, we need to reconfigure the room from 11 tables to
14 tables by re-inserting the fourth row of tables. This is generally the
way to accomplish it:
- It's much easier to measure and place the tables when they don't
have tablecloths, bidding boxes, and chairs in the way. So my procedure
would be to set aside the bidding boxes and table cloths in the classroom,
along with stacking and moving any chairs out of the way. Corner tables
might not get too much in the way.
- Place an anchor table near the timing clock. Give it adequate space
from the window and supply table.
- Use the long tape measure, and place three additional tables in line
away from the windows, toward the PA. Space them edge to edge at exactly
eight feet.
- Use the long tape measure, and place three tables along the windows
on an 8'0 spacing, toward the director's desk.
- Fill in the grid, lining up tables with the base row and column.
Tables should match up in line.
- Replace tablecloths, chairs, bidding boxes, and side tables. (Do
quality control on the bid boxes and tablecloths.)
After doing this, along the windows will be four tables, the next row
five, the two rows of three. Adjust the placement of the director's desk if
you need to. (You probably won't.)
Move the coat rack out of the club and into the lobby space. Empty the
"lost and found" and use the corner tables. Move the rolling white board
out to the lobby for Brandon to use.
In the Community Room, you'll do the same thing, with four rows of three
tables (12 total), but you should have room to use 8'6" spacing from edge
to edge. Set up chairs and bidding boxes.
In the lobby, you'll set up a desk for Brandon. Take an extension cord
from the kitchen, and route it from the wall socket near the window, above
the bridge club doors, to the right of the bridge club. Secure it with duct
tape. Use one of the long folding tables from the community room for
Brandon's desk.
There should be plenty of bidding boxes, bridgemates, pencils, etc. We'll
need to sharpen up a bunch more pencils.
I'll ask Brandon to bring a spare round timer for the community room.
Here's the final word: Friday August 22 is my second chemo infusion date.
I have no idea what condition I'll be in, but assume I won't be available.
Cheers,
Mojo
