Points from the committee for discussion at AGM
The committee would like to raise the following points at the forthcoming AGM on 3rd November 2016 and would value members’ views.
- The Annual Blue-pointed Swiss Pairs held on a Sunday in early September
The number of entries for this event has been dropping over the past few years and the committee would like to hear what you, the members, think. For example:-
- How could the event be improved?
- Would an earlier start time – for example 11:00 (around a 5:30 finish) make it more attractive? (Current start time is 2:00 with an 8:00 finish)
- As a club member would you intend to enter in the future?
- Would you care if the event was removed from the club calendar?
Please share your views with us since the event is run primarily for the benefit of members although it is also open to any EBU member.
- In the programme of events currently offered by the club are there events that members would like to see more of or would like to see withdrawn from the program?
Our director in conjunction with the committee aims to offer members some variety in the games we play to widen experience and to offer practice in different forms of the game.
In the 2015-16 programme we had 51 evenings with the following line-up
- 2 evenings of Simultaneous Pairs.
The club now runs these 2 Sim Pairs events to support the EBU Education Department(EBED) which has helped fund our own ‘Learn Bridge’ programme amongst its other initiatives.
- 1 evening of Multiple Teams (Bamberger Trophy in July)
- 1 evening of Swiss Teams (Mary Garnham Trophy in November)
- 4 evenings of IMP pairs (occurs when there are 5 Thursdays in a month).
The remaining 43 evenings were ordinary duplicate pairs the results of which contribute to the club competitions which run throughout the year
