Hi Folks, following our discussions on Saturday, I am happy to confirm that we have been welcomed to base our Club meetings at the Thames Bridge Club, 401 Brown Street, Thames, as of this coming Thursday, 7pm.  The cost per month will be $15 per session (normally is $50!), so gold coin or some such will cover that.
I've emailed out the new ladder, and included a few names who didn't make it on Saturday.  Toby, Immanuel and Wade, I hope you are ok with this?!  The suggestion is that games played on the ladder are 15+10, ideally in person on a club night, but online fine too.  Ron's format is that you can challenge someone up to 2 places higher on the ladder and take their place if you win, and stay where you are if you lose.
Perhaps we could also set up a Blitz and/or (wanting to keep Immanual and Felix happy) Bullet Ladder too??
Alongside this, we're going to get a club championship rolling, perhaps with games for that happening once per month, depending on numbers.  Let's discuss time format for that on Thursday - I'm thinking something like 40+20.  
Looking forward to seeing you Thursday.  Also, let's discuss advertising options to get our numbers up.
Cheers,
Tom
