CBCPay - Table money without the hassles
Since February the CBC has begun using a new table-money payment system. We call it "CBCPay". Please take the time to read our webapge about the system and fill in a Sign-Up form.The system is open to Members (for in-Club and online) and is required for all RealBridge (online) players (including Visitors).
Our aim is over the next month to have all active CBC members paying table money through CBCPay. Accommodations are made for Visitors to continue paying with $13 vouchers or exact cash.
Thank you to every member who has already signed up to using CBCPay. We hope it saves you time, and know it allows our Directors and Managers to redirect their time towards members, visitors, improving the Club and promoting Bridge.
