- IN PERSON: Alexandria Euchre Club: (11/14) Second Thursday Edition @RampartsRamparts Tavern & Grill, Alexandria, VA
Members can begin RSVP'ing for this In Person Meetup two weeks before the event.
Some reminders:
(1) Please arrive no later then 7:15pm... there are people waiting to play, which means they are waiting for you to arrive.
(2) Please don't leave before 9:30pm... there are people wanting to play and they are hoping you'll stay and play
(3) If you can't do #1 and #2 above then it is probably best if you RSVP as no... we usually have folks on the waiting list waiting to play so this would make room for them.Our 2nd Thursday of the month Euchre Location:
Ramparts Tavern & Grill
1700 Fern Street, Alexandria, VA
https://www.rampartstavern.com/
GPS: https://goo.gl/maps/embeJAi5iFGdbNca8We are in the Middle Room, accessible from both the restaurant and the bar. We start play at 7:00pm and are finished by 10:00pm. Ramparts doesn't close until well after 10:00pm so there isn't a rush for us to get out or anything.
For those new or haven't been in awhile, here is some basic information about our meetup:
- Every member of the Alexandria Euchre Club must know how to play the game of Euchre to attend a meetup. If you know the game, but it has been years since you've played, that is fine as we've all been there and will be patient while it comes flooding back to you.
- New To The Group : If you have never been, we are a friendly group and welcome everyone to come. Very few people come with a friend or spouse. What this means is that it will not be awkward to arrive alone. It is better than a happy hour because it is easy to make conversation about cards. You don't have to even ask the dreaded "what do you do?" question. If you come three times, you are a regular. Also, house rules are that we play stick the dealer (ask if you don't know this variation).
- Correct Table Count : Euchre is a 4 person game--yes, I know there are 3 and 6 person variations, but most people prefer the 4 person game. What this means is that if you sign-up, we are counting on you to be there. The deadline for RSVP is 2 days prior to the meet-up. Please update by that time, especially if you are going to cancel your RSVP. If you get 3 "no shows" and you'll only be able to sign up via an organizer.
- The Waiting List : If this month is like the previous months, we will have a waiting list. Please be considerate and honor your RSVP. Of course, if you are sick and on death's door we don't want you to come out and get the rest of us sick; however, if not please do come play. A good evening of food, drink, cards, and friendship may be all that you need to be more productive the next day. If you are on the waiting list I am expecting you to either remove yourself if you don't want to be considered for an open slot, or check the site (or email) so you know you've been promoted to an RSVP of YES when a slot opens up.
- Costs : There are some costs associated with meetup -- I have to pay Meetup every 6 months for listing on their website. They don't work off of advertising fees. We pass the bowl around and ask people to throw a $1 in each time they come.
Thanks everyone... looking forward to seeing ya !!
