Annual Banquet
Following our January Indoor Match
Join us at MCL Restaurant on Wabash Avenue in Springfield for the
2012 Awards & Annual Banquet at 12:30 p.m.
Sunday January 22, 2012
Everyone is welcome, NOT just club members!! Each person takes care of purchasing his/her own lunch from the buffet line. The club will provide beverages [coffee, tea, and soft drinks] and dessert. It’s fun a plenty!

Play the White Elephant Game at the Annual Banquet
Each person brings a “gift” ONLY IF he/she want to participate in the “game”.
We place all gifts on the table, then we count how many are participating.
Each participant draws a number out of the hat and that becomes the order in which they choose the tempting gifts. The person with #1 will choose the first gift and so on down the line. Then the trading begins!

We’ll continue to post stages on this web site well ahead [5-7 days] of the upcoming cowboy matches. If any of you have a particular favorite scenario or suggestion, please contact the Match Director or Webmaster from the Contact Us page.

$50 Reward Offered
