| Half Table sit-outs |
Some members have raised concerns that it seems as though the East/West pairs sit out many more times than North/South pairs when we have a half table.
If we have a Share and Relay movement in play, which happens with an EVEN number of tables, it is preferable to make the sit out pair East/West on the last table, thus saving the need for the first and last table to share boards.
When we have an ODD number of tables, the half table can be NS or EW, and in future we will alternate. However, please note that this will always be at the Director's discretion and he/she may decide not to comply with that week's rota for mobility reasons or too many recent Share & Relay movements etc.

| Change in table money collection process. |
From 1st September we are hoping to collect table money each week via tapping your bank card onto a device.
So, please don't add monies to your account unless you haven't enough to last until that date. Jo will advise you on this matter.
There will be members with a credit balance at the end of August. This will be allowed to run down until zero before you will be on the new system.
