STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING

11^th July 2016

Dilys Spence, John Webb & Paddy Craig met to take forward the starting up of a new local bridge league.

NAME: It was agreed to call it THE MORAVIA BRIDGE LEAGUE

DIVISIONS: With 11 teams plus 1 to confirm it was agreed to form 2 divisions.

We are hoping to hear that Bishopmill will join us. Once we hear from them we will draw up a fixtures list.

TEAMS: In keeping with the agreement at the 10^th June meeting of flexibility, it has been agreed that players may play for more than one club, but with a different partner.   2^nd division players may play up in the 1^stdivision as many times as required and whilst 1^st division players may play in the 2^nd division, we ask that this is not abused.

Matches: to be played at the Elgin Bridge Centre unless both Captains agree to play elsewhere. No Home /Away. Each team to pay their own way - £18.00 includes tea/coffee/biscuits.

Room and time to be arranged directly with Margaret Spink. Suggest captains check availability with her first.margtspink@hotmail.co.uk  01343 549032

South Room free every evening except the Friday before our Saturday events. North Room free on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Main Room free on Friday evenings again apart from the one before Saturday events. All rooms are available during the daytime except the North Room on a Friday afternoon. Weekends are also available apart from Saturday function dates. Bookings should be made directly to Margaret as she will put it on the calendar which provides a double check for Ian.

Scoring: We propose to score each board – 1 point for a win and ½ point for a draw. Both team captains to check results and email to John Webb –jvwebb@jvwebb.plus.com

This is what we have come up with based on the consensus at the 10^th June meeting, and trust that it meets with your approval. We will, of course, review proceedings next April and propose to hold an end of season Pairs Bridge night at the EBC.
