SUMMARY:Tennis
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: We play social tennis\, the level of play is respectable\, but perhaps a little short of tournament class. We rotate partners for each of the three sets played and find this to be a great equalizer for players of various skill levels. Coffee after and time to talk about professional tennis and any other topic of interest. \nWHERE: Outdoors using some of Victoria’s excellent free tennis courts and Indoors at both Cedar Hill and Oak Bays’ indoor bubbles. \nWHEN: Play normally 9:00-10:30AM on Mondays & Thursdays\, unless indoors then often at 8:00AM depending on booking. \nWHO: Currently 12 players (not all play each event). Open to all VRMNC Members (and guests who may be interested in joining the club). \nBRING: Tennis gear\, sun glasses and your water bottle\, cash if indoor court for booking. \n\n\n\n\n\n        \n            \n                                                \n\n                                        \n                        20240711 VRMNC Special Event - Tennis Tournament Award20240711 VRMNC Special Event - Tennis Tournament Award20240711 VRMNC Special Event - Tennis Tournament Players20240711 VRMNC Special Event - Tennis Tournament Players20240208 VRMNC Tennis - Coordinator Des Thank You\, Group20240208 VRMNC Tennis - Coordinator Des Thank You\, Group20230608 VRMNC Special Event - 2023 Tennis Tournament20230608 VRMNC Special Event - 2023 Tennis TournamentTennis 120181014 VMNC Tennis ActivityTennis 2

SUMMARY:VRMNC Speaker Luncheon - May 28th

With a team of 900 professionally trained volunteers operating 29 rescue stations\, we respond to approximately 450 – 500 distress calls each year.\nYou’ll learn who we are\, what we do\, and how we do it.. The presentation will also touch on the model that makes this work possible: highly trained volunteers\, strong partnerships\, and the support of donors and communities.\nAt its heart\, this is a story about people showing up for one another. It demonstrates the impact of volunteerism\, the strength of community-based response\, and the meaningful difference RCMSAR volunteers make every day in our communities. \n \nMore about Bill…\nBill Riggs joined RCMSAR in March 2020.

Collaborating closely with staff\, volunteers\, and partners\, he guides long-term planning\, supports operational excellence\, and fosters the relationships that make our work possible. \nTICKETS: Click + sign then click Get Tickets.\nWhen complete you will receive two emails: 1) payment receipt from PayPal;\nand 2) ticket from software.\nIf you do not get these two emails you have not completed your ticket.\nSales cutoff is Sunday May 24 at 6pm.\n(NOTE: The new price for lunch\, reflecting increased charges from the Rec Centre\, is $42.50 per head.) \nWAITLIST: Contact Hugh Stephens (principal@tpconnections.com; speakercoordinator@vrmnc.ca; 250-813-0339) if the event is sold out.

SUMMARY:Social Bridge
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: Beginners are welcome but some knowledge of the game and playing experience are required. We\, in general\, follow Standard American bidding conventions and ACBL contract bridge rules. That said\, the emphasis is on fellowship and fun\, not competition. Currently there are four groups. \nEach group consists of a core group of 8 to 10 players who meet on a regular schedule. Frequently core group players are not able to play on a given night so a list of spares is maintained for all groups and players to call upon. This gives spares many opportunities to play and to get to know other VRMNC Members. \nAnyone interested in playing in a social context is encouraged to contact the Coordinator to learn more and to put their name forward for the spares list. \nWHERE: Regular players host at their homes on a rotational basis\, occasionally use Zoom if snow etc. \nWHEN: Most groups play weekly at nights or afternoons\, some stop for summer. \nWHO: Open to all VRMNC Members. VRMNC Members wishing to play should join the spares list for opportunities to play and be positioned to join a group on a regular basis when vacancies arise. \nBRING: There are no fees to play but many groups have a $1 ante to play each evening. The proceeds are divided amongst the top two and the lowest player of the evening. The host supplies the cards\, beverages and snacks. \n\n        \n            \n                                                \n\n                                        \n                        VRMNC Social Bridge\, Logo20260615 VRMNC Annual Bridge Tournament20260615 VRMNC Annual Bridge Tournament20250729 VRMNC - Tuesday Night Bridge20250729 VRMNC - Tuesday Night Bridge20250624 VRMNC Bridge - Garage For A Change20250624 VRMNC Bridge - Garage For A Change20250616 VRMNC Bridge - Annual Tournament20250616 VRMNC Bridge - Annual Tournament\, Awards20240702 VRMNC Bridge - Ken's Hosue at Willis Point20240702 VRMNC Bridge - Ken's House at Willis Point20240617 VRMNC Bridge - Tournament\, Awards20240617 VRMNC Bridge - Tournament\, Awards20240617 VRMNC Bridge - Tournament20240617 VRMNC Bridge - Tournament20230704 VRMNC - Bridge\, Willis Point20230704 VRMNC - Bridge\, Willis Point20180625 04 VMNC 2nd Annual Social Bridge Tournament\, Game Time20180625 03 VMNC 2nd Annual Social Bridge Tournament\, Awards20180625 06 VMNC 2nd Annual Social Bridge Tournament\, First & Second Awardees20180625 01 VMNC 2nd Annual Social Bridge Tournament - Social20170626 03 Bridge Tournament20170626 02 Bridge Tournament
