There could be some major push back to totally eliminating them. Maybe wait until next year or bring it up at the annual meeting?

If we go the non reservation route, we will have to change the house and dock rules, but that is not a big deal. I want to get more input before we come to a final decision. I do not want to win a battle only to lose a war. Thanks again, Glenn On Fri, Jun 16, 2017 at 9:35 AM, Jeremy Small > wrote: I am in agreement with Wendy and Dan.

When you get there just save a seat for you and partner. We sat with a couple that we didn't know very well and had a great time!!!

At the Wed night dinner on June 14, the issue of reserving table seats reared its ugly head. I needed two glasses of gin for this episode of "who can get there first". About 8 years ago (do not quote me on this), when I was on the board, we adopted a policy of "no table reservations until 1200 on the day of the event". This is contained in the House and Dock rules on page 59. It appears to have gone by the wayside and now people are putting stuff on the tables one, even two days before a dinner. In addition, they are calling Jerry to reserve seats. Jerry is not the Maitre 'd of the club for table reservations, and members should be following the rules. Please think about this and be prepared at the next meeting to provide input. I do not want to start a war over this issue, but we need to control it.
