Looking for a partner – members to be directed to website facility.

 

We will have an evening of Team Bridge in March 2016 – members will be asked to sign up with partners the fortnight/weekbefore and the list will close at 13 tables.

 

Arrangements are in place for the Annual Dinner (17.11.15) and the Christmas Party (15.12.15). Members will be asked tocontribute to tombola.

 

We have had 9 people leaving the club this year and so the 9 on the waiting list will be invited to join. Lesley has not yetheard from 5 members (to be chased).

 

We will play bridge on 22 December (not 29 Dec).

 

10th March 2015

 

 

Discussion about bridgemate, gift aid, annual dinner, replica trophies and bridge dates around Christmas. Further £1000 to

 

be sent to Hospice.

 

 

25th November 2014

 

 

AGM matters arising included Bridgemate proposal to be further investigated + reassurance re public liability insurance in the Hall.

Accounts are positive and a further cheque for £1500 will be given to the Hospice at the Christmas party. Over 60 members gift aided their

subscription with a further enhancement of £375+

Membership – it was agreed that we would let in those last 3 people who were remaining on the waiting list – bringing us to 113 but as the Rowlands are departing shortly the club will then stand at 111 members including its founder, Margaret Broughton. New waiting list to operate!

Roles were assigned re Christmas party and although Annual dinner was considered a success decision taken to investigate possibility of holding it at Adlington Hall in Nov 2015 because moving the tables is so onerous.

We need tombola prizes for party – emails will go out as reminders.

We thank Barbara Rowlands for her work on the committee.

We have given an extra £1200 to Hospice, ie they have received £4500 from us so far this ''bridge year" - and we are hoping to donate a total of £6200 which equals 1 day's running costs for the Hospice. This is nearly twice what we have given in the past!

14th January 2014

We welcomed our new Chairman Geoff Davison and new committee member Jannie Ashworth.

We now have 106 members. Our constitution states that 110 members and 18 tables are our maximum – which we hope to operate on a first come/first served basis.

We are planning a further seminar with Michael Byrne later in the year.

We have donated £3,300 to the East Cheshire Hospice already this year and the increase in table money and good attendances means that we will be able to donate further money, hopefully bringing our annual donation to around £6,000 by the end of the season.
