| AMENDMENT TO THE LAWS |
| Most members will be aware that the most recent update of the laws of bridge will come into force on August 1st. Most of the changes are very minor but you ought to make yourself aware of them. Mike Wilson has put up some notices in the Clubroom with a precis of the changes. Please have a look so that you know what has changed and so that you are not caught out after the changes. |

| SUNNINGDALE ROAD |
At last, permission for change of use of this building has been granted. This means that we can start to push ahead with our venture. The owner of Sunningdale Road and his solicitor have been in touch with our solicitor ( Mr. Pascoe ) and a meeting has been arranged ( provisionally ) for next Wednesday afternoon. This is to try and sort out the purchase of Sunningdale Road etc.
Then we will have to try and get Mr. Chant and his organisation to splash the cash and buy this property. With regard to this, we have a slight problem with the Trustees of the Club which, it seems, cannot be resolved until Stuart Watson returns at the beginning of August. Once this has been sorted then things should be able to proceed.
If anyone is looking on the gloomy side of things then I have been assured that Mr. Chant and his organisation intend to purchase those properties that they have said they will purchase, and that includes the Club. They have not promised to start building the replacement housing, though. |

In the main teams championship Stuart Knox and Dave Caldow were half of the team that won. Well done! In the consolation teams event Glynn Elwick, Stuart Watson, Mike and Vic Llewellyn were winners with Ted and Brenda Goodacre and Peter and Brigid Hughes runners-up.
