Still under construction.

By the end of 2024 I was thoroughly disgusted with the state of affairs in the district. The new president, Susan Miguel, and vice-president, Denise Bahosh, had ideas about running the district that were totally different from the ones that Bob Bertoni and the people who had run things prior to the pandemic had promulgated. They insisted that every tournament should have a party atmosphere. They also thought that the only way to get new players to attend was to bribe them. The final tournament of the year in Marlboro, MA (described here) featured a meeting of the Executive Committee. One of the last things discussed was how to attract people to the evening games. I, at the last minute, suggested trying a Pro-Am Pairs game in which each pair must have at least one non-Life Master. I remembered that we had attracted two sections worth of players before the pandemic. Susan asked if I would agree to host it. Thinking that she meant at the next tournament in February in Southbridge, I agreed.

Well, there was no tournament in February. Susan wanted to have the Pro-Am at the third tournament, in Nashua, NH.

February event in Mansfield was Playbook NLM Regional held on February 6-9.

Pro-Am will be at Granite State Getaway in June. Sue and I will organize it. Friday June 14.

Fall tournament will be at the Holiday Inn in Norwich CT.
