4. Review of the Club's Activities

The Club's finances seem to be trundling along OK, with an average of about nine tables each Monday. There are no plans to increase the table money for members.
We are not aware of much change in the membership.
Members are asked to be careful when putting away the tables at the end of the evening, to avoid tearing the fabric of the table surface when moving the tables or stacking them in their rack in the closet.

5. 2024-25 Club Championship

RA to investigate cost of purchasing two new trophies for the winners, and the annual cost of engraving. The existing trophies cannot be repaired.

6. Any Other Business

We propose to schedule the Christmas Party for 16th December.
We propose not to run a Monday session on 23rd December.
We should make the Host system more reliable by checking with the week's (or month's) hosts in advance. Email them first, then phone them if no response. Has CW got the members' email addresses?

7. Date of Next Meeting

The next meeting will be scheduled for 6pm on 28th October.
