Our, AGM will be held on Monday 1st December, commencing at 6pm, at the Bridge Club. There will be nomination forms available in early November if you wish to nominate someone, or be nominated, for the 2026 Committee. We need nominations for President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Masterpoint Secretary, Catering Organiser, and general Committee members.

At our recent Committee meeting, we decided to seek a caterer for this year's dinner, and Kylie Wagner has supplied us with a quote for both savoury and dessert food, which we have accepted. We will also be providing members with the usual selection of drinks to go with the meal, and there will be a session of cards with spot prizes to conclude the evening. Because of the cost involved with the catering, members will be asked to pay $20 - the Club will still be making a substantial contribution towards the cost of the food and drinks. There is a list available at each of our sessions for members to indicate their attendance or apologies. We do need to finalise numbers for catering purposes please.

The young lady, Jasmine Milner, who has been our Dealer for the past 4 years, will be finishing up after New Year, as she is hoping to enrol at University in Melbourne. We have decided to make a presentation to Jasmine in appreciation of her support over the 4 years - she has always been reliable and willing to fit in with the Club's needs. Jasmine will train our new Dealer person early in the New Year.

I have received a proposed motion for consideration at the AGM during General Business, moved by Peter Nelson and Rae Sheppard, that our Monday session commence at 7 pm throughout the year.
