Erin Berry Rookie/Master game

This is a Canada-wide special game.   The rookie/master games are special games that happen in the spring and the fall.  This game has nothing to do with our internal Mentor/Mentee program.  It is a great opportunity to play with an experienced partner.  A signup sheet is posted on the bulletin board.  Rookies (less than 100mp) sign up on the left column and masters on the right.  We will match you before the game.  If you have someone you want to play with, please note on the list.  This game is taking place on Thursday October 16 at 12:30.  Please join us as this game is a lot of fun.  Cake will be served mid-way through the game. Normal game fees apply.
