What we’re about
For safety reasons, a recognizable photo of yourself (and preferably a full first and last name) is required for membership. (Unless there is a direct recommendation from a member in good standing)
Very simply………. We are a group of Card Lovers that especially like Spades and Hearts (and occasionally a few other card games) and want to get together on a regular basis for some fun and sometimes competitive games.
Beginners are welcome if you have a knack for card games and are eager to learn.
We have several different types of venues.
- Casual Card games (most common) where it is open to new or experienced
players...we take the time as needed to coach, teach, and increase a player's skill
level. (Or learn from those that are much more experienced than us) - Casual cards with a potluck or BBQ occasionally before we play cards.
- Spades Tournament Format .... (TBD at different times throughout the year) ….
(The skill level at this venue is intermediate or above…We have found that if you
are a good card player in general then you will fit right in.)
We host in a private home and request that all members respect the following guidelines, rules, & protocols:
1) Please bring the following:
· Great personality,
· Plenty of humor
· Lots of money (kidding)
· Snacks and drinks to share.
2) We use the waitlist to manage the attendees and will convert those on the waitlist to a “yes” once the event gets closer or we have a verbal confirmation.
3) Please consider your “Yes” RSVP as a positive yes and not to be used it as a "maybe" placeholder for that event.
4) Please be respectful and attend the events you commit to attend. We understand that things do come up, and if you cannot make it to an event that you had RSVP'd a "YES" to, and must cancel, please call, text, or message the host. (If there is a pattern of RSVPing and either cancelling last minute, or not attending - you may be removed from the group.)
5) Every attempt is made to accommodate the wishes and preferences of each member. Please feel free to reach out BEFORE the event if you have any ideas, preferences, or special requests …. such as:
a. Maybe a surprise Happy Birthday cake for one of the members.
b. A new card game that we might want to try.
c. A certain pairing of people at a table.
d. A style of music to be played for the evening.
Please respect any final decisions of the host(s) for any special requests.
