Book covers

Table contact list

Gentlemen at the same table can see one another’s email, phone, and address on that table’s roster and member pages, so the club can reach each other. The Contact privacy setting still keeps those details off for visitors who are not at that table.

Table numbers

Each table now carries its club number above the name — Table #001 for the founding table, #002 for Copper & Quill, and the next number as new tables form.
