<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Greetings again, all -<br><br>This relates to the local club in the Shoreline area, run by Margaret Marshall and my good friend Clint Hattrup.<br><br>I just talked with Clint. In sum, there are two problems. One they have already solved. But they need our help with a second problem, which I will describe.<br><br>First, some background. This is a longstanding, small club. They play one session a week, on Wednesdays, I think in a church in the Shoreline area. They have a small but very loyal clientele. I have not played there, but it is my impression that it is an older group. Clint and Margaret are "co-directors," as he describes it. Clint just had his 86th birthday, and I think Margaret is of similar age.<br><br>Margaret apparently did not pay the club's ACBL renewal fee when it came due.<br>The ACBL folks called Margaret's home phone, and left one or more messages with her husaband.<br>He is suffering from dementia, and she never got the message. Eventually the ACBL "cancelled" their franchise.<br>When Margaret finally learned about it, they got it straightened out, and the fee has now been paid.<br>So the club has been reinsttated, and this problem is history, at least for now.<br><br>But there is another problem, still not solved.<br>For a long time, Clint sent the game results in to the ACBL from his home computer, and all went smoothly.<br>But for the past several months, the results have not been successfully transmitted and posted.<br>Clint has talked at length by telephone with Tony Green, a technical person at the ACBL, but they have not worked it out.<br>He has also sought help from a local person, supposedly skilled in computer matters, but again without any resolution.<br>Meanwhile, results are not being recorded and players are not getting their awards.<br>That cannot be good for maintaining the loyalty of their players.<br><br>I told him the Unit should stand ready to help out our local clubs whenever we can - and this was a perfect opportunity.<br>Is there someone who would be willing to meet with Clint, figure out what the problem is, and solve it?<br>Specifically, they would need to get the past two months' records posted; and set up a system to assure that it can be done timely in the future.<br>It would need to be someone who has familiarity with ACBL Score, or whatever system they are now using; and is skilled with computers generally. That is definitely not me - or I would do it myself!<br>It would probably also be best if the person lived or worked in the North End somewhere, as the game is there and Clint lives in Shoreline.<br><br>Any takers, or other suggestions?<br><br>John W.<br><br><hr>To: <a href="mailto:sbuboard@mailman.celestial.com">sbuboard@mailman.celestial.com</a><br>From: <a href="mailto:trkwhite@gmail.com">trkwhite@gmail.com</a><br>Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2016 18:36:47 -0700<br>Subject: Re: [SBU Board] Fwd: club # 258244<br><br>

<div dir=ltr>I know a little bit - a very little bit - about Margaret Marshall and her club.<br>It is a small club, in the Shoreline area somewhere.<br>Margaret Marshall is a close friend of a long-time good friend and bridge partner of mine, Clint Hattrup.<br>I think Clint has directed at the game for her, occasionally or perhaps regularly.<br><br>I have no idea about the circumstances of this club being "cancelled" and then reinstated by the ACBL.<br>But I will inquire of Clint and let you know.<br><br>John W.<br><br>
