WEDNESDAY ABCD ROUND ROBIN
This format of ABCD is certainly fun, as the increasing number of participants shows. It is, however, more difficult for the organizers to put the groups together. We ask that if you sign up, that you show up. If you cannot make it for any reason, take yourself out at least 3 hours in advance, so that someone on the wait list can join in. The sign-up list closes at 2pm. Please arrive and check in by 4:45pm. This is a social event, with the fun play and socializing after. If you have a snack to share for the social part, please feel free to bring it and put on the table. Also bring your favorite beverage and come have fun with your fellow picklers.
