Annual General Meeting  -   3^rd  March 2016

SCORER’S REPORT

1  -  General

Scoring continued throughout the year without problem and I extend grateful thanks to John Little for his valued support as Relief Scorer.  Whilst the majority of players access the weekly results via the club website, members are reminded that the scoring file is always available on club night for their reference.  History indicates that only a few members are occasionally interested in it and at times a lack of space means that it is difficult to identify a suitable place for it to reside..

During the year we introduced the attachment of hand records to the website scoring whenever we use pre-dealt boards so that members can review their play and compare results.

2  -  Club Records

The Record of Former Winners of Club Trophies is still incomplete but no members have come forward in the last couple of years to fill in any of the blanks.   Members who can remember winning, or indeed have memories prompted by replicas they may still possess, are asked to pass the information to me so that their names can be duly inserted in the Club Record. I propose to drop this reminder (which has been part of my report for the last few years) after this year.
