PLEASE NOTE - It is the responsibility of each member to find a replacement if they are unable to attend on the night.

Stand-by/Host System

• A revised Stand-by system is to start in January 2016.
• As voted at the AGM, it will be a condition of membership that ALL full members go on the Tuesday evening stand-by list. (It is expected that this will be every 18 months – 2 years for each member.)
• The stand-by list will be posted in the club and on the web site.
• It is up to each member to check when they are on stand-by and initial the list to show they have seen it.
• Anyone who cannot do any stand-by session can swap, or get someone else to do it, but it is their responsibility to arrange this.
• Exceptions to being on stand-by can be made for unusual circumstances, sickness etc. A committee member can provide details of this.

When you are on Stand-by, or wish to use the system, you need to be at the club by 7:15 on the Tuesday evening in order to be seated by 7:25 so that the director can organise the movement. If you are on stand-by and two people turn up then they will play together and you will be free to leave. If your usual partner wants to come, it would be as if they had come to use the stand-by system, and if another player comes then you would go home and your partner would play with them.

A stand-by member will not pay for the evening's play: if they do not play, they will get vouchers for a free session. Please ask the director before leaving.

Please be aware that members have different levels of experience. Whether you are a stand-by player or have come to use the system, you should enjoy the evening with your new partner.
