Barristers’ 4th Annual Dart Night

Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. at the Bench Warmer (1855 East Main St., Ventura), for the Barristers’ 4th Annual Dart Night. As always, this will be a tournament with the winner to receive the coveted trophy and the title of 2011 Champion. There will be opportunities for other prizes as well. There is no charge to participate in the tournament, and you do not need to bring your own darts (but you can if you want). People with all levels of darting skill – even complete lack of skill – are encouraged to participate! The event flyer is attached. Please RSVP to this event because we like to have the tournament brackets in place before we are scheduled to start the competition. Email your RSVP to the Dart Committee Co-Chair, Melissa Waters, at mwaters@nchc.com. Last year we had a fantastic turnout, including one member of our bench. Even if you prefer not to play, come out to support your colleagues in the competition! You will not have to be out late, and it’s a ton of fun.
