Join the Crowd

The crowd is growing—but there is room for more. Club managers will receive their Join the Crowd posters for the 2005 North American Pairs late this month to encourage participation in the event. Club qualifying tables increased a whopping 66% last year—let's break our own record. Posters also are available online.

Online Direction

The Club Directors Handbook joins the publications now available online. The handbook replaces the old study packet for the club director test. It has been updated extensively and would be helpful for all club directors.
