Redmond Washington is a suburb of Seattle. Eastside BC is a really nice club that runs 19 games per week, including 4 limited games. The owners, pictured below, plus Mary Miller who was away on vacation, provide all the amenities a club should have. Matt Koltnow, a full-time ACBL tournament director, directs games when his schedule allows. Roger Putnam, another full-time TD, was playing today. I played with Maurice Blustein, an excellent player, and we coasted home, placing 1st in a 17 table game. After the game I met with the owners to suggest ways to help them with problems that may arise. But looking at the big picture, this is a fine club with all the ingredients for success.
