Minutes of the last meeting in 2022 were accepted as a true record.
Matters arising None.
Chairman’s Report
The report was available on the website. David Stimson ran through it. He thanked all involved in helping run the club.
Treasurer’s Report
Anne explained that the accounts were in quite a steady state, the cost of providing the game on RealBridge being covered by the £1 fee. Most members were currently in credit, those that needed to make payments would be reminded. The accounts had been verified as accurate. Roger remarked that there were some improved savings accounts currently on offer. Anne would check but thought these didn’t apply to clubs. The report was accepted by the meeting.
Election of Officers and Committee Members
Pat Henry had recently stood down from the Committee. The rest of the Committee were willing to stand again. They were re-elected en bloc. Membership was now:
Chairman: David Stimson
Treasurer and Membership Secretary: Anne Short
Secretary: Margaret Ainsworth
Competitions Secretary: Naomi Gibbs
Committee members: Derek Peers, Lesley Peers, Roger Edmonds
Competitions and Events
We would continue in the coming year with weekly RealBridge at £1 a session, and with no membership fee. We would run competitions as in the past year. There would be two f2f special events, a teams event with light lunch in July, and a Christmas lunch event. Payment would be made on the day, with reservations being made to David beforehand. We also planned to run the f2f teams event again.
AoB
Paul Littlewood asked if there were any thoughts of returning to f2f bridge on a regular basis. The Committee had no plans to do so other than the events listed above.
The meeting closed at 19.25 and trophies were awarded as listed on the website.
