We meet at 9:45 for a 10:00 start. We make up groups randomly by picking cards. We do not give lessons, so you must know the basics, but we are not pros by any means. Many do not keep score.

This is a mixed partner/singles/friends group that would bring an appetizer to share and your own drinks to the hosts house.

We meet at 5:00 to mix and mingle, order dinner at 5:30. RAXX, 665 Development Drive. Each month, shortly before the event, the convenor sends out an email asking who will be attending. As Pub Night is popular, everyone interested in attending must R.SV.P. each month so RAXX knows how much space to reserve.
