The Beginner Intermediate Lounge is pleased to receive requests for membership from Advanced >>>> BBO members.
These are granted as Honorary Memberships
the criteria being that the applicant is willing to aid, assist, HELP the members.
[glow=red,2,300]The reward - the satisfaction the giver gets from knowing that which they have given has helped a fellow player. [/glow]
To date we have :
Honorary STARS - they pop in from time to time to offer encouragement and rumour has it (I wasn't there
) have even been known to sit awhile and play a few hands.Honorary TEACHERS/MENTORS - who make time available to hold Open sessions in the lounge to which all the members are invited.
BTW - there can't be enough of you people, the membership is global, the systems being used by members are global, the languages spoken by members are global - 400 members and growing could be thousands !! No reason why teaching tables shouldn't be able to be run concurrently - the members will choose that which suits them best (no contest )
Honorary DIRECTORS - without whom we could not run our Tournaments. Beginner Intermediates are sufficently challenged learning to play good bridge without having to administer the LAW !
Honorary ASSISTANTS -
Members are allowed to invite their 'coaches' - one of the benefits of membership being that this is a 'safe' place to play/learn - no interruption from ..........
Offers of help have been received from those willing to act as 'crowd control', assist with running mini tournaments etc etc.
No offers of genuine HELP will ever be refused.
No application for membership from an Advanced > will be accepted unless there is an offer to HELP (some can get accepted because of the way the system works but as soon as that is uncovered the name is deleted and will only be reactivated if the person comes forward with - an offer of HELP )
There are a lot of members with a 'private' skill level - for now they are being given the benefit of the doubt - all will be revealed in the fullness of time
- playing in our Tournaments will be a dead giveaway Inquiry and his team of Directors can spot the difference in a jiffy ;DThe REWARD for Honorary Membership of the Beginner Intermediate Lounge is singular
[glow=red,2,300]the satisfaction you get from the knowledge that you have helped a fellow bridge player on their journey to enjoying the game of bridge as you do [/glow]
Good Bridging Everyone
