Trophies – The Wyatt Trophy runs for 7-8 months and the Suttill Trophy for 3-4 months. Kay proposed that these periods should be evened out, making the period for the Suttill Trophy longer although with the same number of attendances. Kay offered to produce some dates.
Linda thought it unfair that Helen was delayed at the start of the evening resulting in her missing one board and having to take an average. Kay said that she had checked the EBU rules and the director could only ask a table to take an average if they had not taken the cards out of the board when every other table had finished. She also confirmed that the director must wait for all to be ready before allowing play to start. This was proposed by Phil and seconded by Linda.
Helen asked that people do not discuss the hands until they are waiting to move on. And when discussing hands, they should do so quietly as it was very distracting for those still playing. Kay reminded the meeting that North was in charge of the table and should enforce this.

Meeting closed.
