Rules of the Danetre Bridge Club 2016
1) Play will be duplicate , broadly following Acol conventions. Further good practice guidelines may be found in the Letter to Members given to each new member.
2) Meetings will usually take place each Wednesday evening, currently at Daventry Indoor Bowling Club. Play will begin at 7.15. The director for the evening will decide whether latecomers may be admitted.
3) Cut for Partners. To encourage social contact among members, players will draw for partners for the evening on the first Wednesday of January, April, July and October.
4) Hosting. To accommodate players who may come without a partner the club encourages all members to volunteer to be host at least once a year. The host will pair with any single player for the evening or go home if an odd number of players is present. The committee will maintain a rota of hosts.
5) Directors. The committee will maintain a list of members willing and approved by the committee to act as Directors. In any query or dispute about play the Director’s guidance or decision is final.
6) Membership. The total membership of the club may be limited from time to time at the discretion of the committee. If this proves necessary a waiting list will be drawn up and applications dealt with in date order as vacancies occur.
7) Visitors and guests are welcome if numbers permit at the discretion of the evening’s Director. The table fee (see rule 8) for guests or visitors will be determined by the Committee.
8) Subscriptions. A subscription is payable by every member by the end of January each year. Newcomers joining during the year will pay a joining fee. In addition all players will pay a table fee each evening they play. These fees will be monitored by the committee and adjusted as needed.
9) The AGM will be held on a Wednesday evening before the end of January each year. A report on membership, finances and any proposed changes to these rules will be submitted at the AGM.
10) Committee. The Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, and up to 4 additional committee members will be elected at the AGM each year. Members can propose themselves for the committee without the need for a proposer.
