Game on Saturday, April 1, 2023

Well, the big news is that there will not be a game on Saturday, April 1.  And this is not an April Fool's joke.  Due to circumstances beyond our control, there is no venue available to host a game.

But if anyone does have an available venue and wants to run a game, let us know!

We should have one on Saturday, April 15 and, hopefully, on April 29.
