May 19 Meeting

Ok, so who will be at club this Sunday, at our new location at Bob Evans on Richmond Road?  I will, but with travel over the ensuing weeks (Atlanta tourney, then Disney World), won't be back again until 6/16.

New Meeting Location - Bob Evans on Richmond Road

Good news!  The Bob Evans restaurant on Richmond Road (at the interchange with New Circle Road) has agreed to host our meetings at our normal time, 2-6pm on Sundays.  It's a tall order, but I'm hoping that they'll be every bit as accommodating to us as Perkins was.  I would ask that any of us that visit there (especially during the first few weeks of meeting there), please make an effort to purchase food and drink, even if it's just coffee and dessert, to make it worth their while to have us there.

So, starting this Sunday, May 13, we will be meeting at Bob Evans on Richmond Road.  That said, who will be there?  I will not, and I imagine turnout will be light, due to Mother's Day commitments.  If you do plan to attend, please post here.  I would also appreciate if you can email me afterward (privately) and let me know your impressions of the place and if you see any reason why it wouldn't work out long-term.

I will hold off on scheduling an Official meeting there until we've had a few weeks to "break the place in," so to speak.  Thanks to those who helped with finding us a new location so quickly.

Perkins Has Closed

In case you haven't heard the news, Perkins suddenly shut down yesterday, for good.  As with most folks (including, apparently, their general manager), this came as a complete surprise to me.  I feel especially bad for Chris and others we got to know there, who always made us feel welcome and did a great job waiting on us and such, who are suddenly out of a job, after years of faithful service.  I don't know any particulars of the lawsuit settlement, but with a major community church as the property owner, I just can't help thinking a better outcome than this should have been possible.

As for our group, however, I'm hoping we can move on from this as quickly as we can and find a new location that suits our needs.  If anyone has suggestions for a new place to meet, please email or call ASAP if you'd like me to contact them.

KY-WV Tourney Results

Yesterday's first (annual?) Kentucky-West Virginia Tournament is now in the record books.  I hope everyone had a great time, I sure did!  I was especially pleased with the Carter Caves facility and staff...they provided everything we needed for a quiet, comfortable playing environment, all at a very reasonable price.  Best of all, however, was your positive attitude and patience with my (sometimes clumsy) handling of any issues that came up during the day.  Major thanks to the WV folks in agreeing to play with us, and especially Brad as co-director, a seasoned veteran at keeping things running smoothly.

The full results are below.  Thanks again, everyone...let's do this again!
