Please indicate your attendance status by leaving a comment to this blog entry or by e-mailing one of the club directors at the e-mail addresses given in the right sidebar near the top. It helps us to know approximately how many will be attending and gives people an idea of who will be there.

We had ten playing at the June LCT; it would be great to have that many or more at the one this month.

Any suggestions for secondary prize(s)? Here are a couple that we are considering: (1) high play using the most letters in LEXINGTON; (2) highest blankless bingo. How about some ideas from you? We have been awarding these secondary prizes to players who did not win prize money from their place finishes.

Our local club tournament next month will be on Sunday, August 22.
