I think it the "space" between Double and ! that causes the trouble.

I think it's the "!"; Uday says that (some) spaces are OK: http://forums.bridge...howtopic=15920#

I don't recall having any issues with include lists and spaces, but have heard of problems with "!"s before, though in reference to exclude lists rather than includes.

I'd like to note that Don's nick, "Double !", appears twice in the list Kathryn has posted above - once alphabetically and again at the end. Dunno if this would cause problems should anyone try to use it as is.

Any thoughts on doing this on a more regular basis? Every other week, or once a month say? Perhaps with rotating scheduling, so that it's open to all time zones.

I definitely am of strong view that the 29th of December is excellent, because, in addition to the event, it will also be my 32nd birthday.

I second that; especially the rotation idea.

I have not seen our great organizer & TD, Jillybean posting in Forums for a very long time :( , so maybe someone else will take it in his/her hands at the end of the year?

When is the event supposed to be held? Unless family activities preclude this game I would love to play. Thank you.
