| Postal vote for Computerised Scoring System |
|
It has come to our attention that we will not be able to have a proxy vote for the computerised scoring system at the AGM due to objection by members that it is not allowed in the club constitution. Instead, we plan to hold a postal vote over the next few months. Click this item to see the letter to members describing the new ballot. |

| AGM |
| The AGM will take place on the 9th May 2012 and all members of the committee will have to be re-elected. It would be good for the club to have new committee members or indeed for past committee members to rejoin. If you want a say in how your club is run offer yourself for election . It will not be too onerous and will not take up a great deal of time. |

| Hosting System |
The committee have decided to introduce a hosting system for the new season. From the start of April, members who need a partner and who arrive by 7:25 pm are guaranteed to play either with another member in the same situation or with the host. Members of the committee have agreed to volunteer to be host for the first couple of months and then if successful will ask for volunteers to be host. Volunteers will be entitled to free bridge on the evening they host and free bridge the next time they play. It is vital that members volunteer to host or the system will not work. We are sure there is a need for it and indeed most clubs offer this service so please co operate. It is only 1 night per year. |

| Refurbished Rhodes Room |
 |
| The Rhodes Room has now been fully refurbished - this has meant installing air-conditioning units, adding soundproofing to the wall of the main hall, partitioning off the kitchen and hanging new curtains. |
|
|
| Air Conditioning Installed |
 |
The Rhodes Room is now available for playing bridge with full air conditioning. This completes the refurbishment and hopefully will provide a very pleasant playing environment. |
