Good morning!
A tidy start and end to our Wednesday afternoon sessions
We would be very grateful if you could all help us with ensuring that we have a tidy start and end to our Wednesday afternoon sessions.
Please could you be sitting at your table ready to play by 1.10 pm at the very latest; this is so that we can see clearly how many pairs we have (as well as anyone who is missing) in order to set up the movement correctly on Scorebridge.
Please also feel free to help us put everything away at the end of the session (including moving the tables and chairs into their desired positions) so that Slimming World are able to start their session on time too. Thank you.
Actions arising from last month's committee meeting
As a result of last month's committee meeting:
- We are asking all members to talk to us or write to us about how the club feels to them on Monday evenings and Wednesday afternoons and, in particular, what they think we can do to make things even better.
- The club's constitution is being updated to bring it in line with the model one recommended by the EBU and, more importantly, to reflect how our club actually operates now; we will be seeking members' views on this.
- We intend to purchase two additional trophies for club competitions; they are to be called the George Foord Cup and the Elaine Proctor Cup - in memory of two members who made a massive contribution to our club.

At the table: the Directors' Cut
This week we would like to politely remind you that, if you have a round where you are sitting out because there is a missing pair, you may not take the hands out of the boards on your table and discuss them. However, it is the perfect opportunity to partake of a mug of tea and a couple of chocolate digestives!
Last week at the club
There were 4 full tables at the Lindum on Monday. Congratulations to Janet & Bob who finished top with 72.2% and to Colin & Sue who came second with 63.2%.
At Bridge School in Saxilby last Tuesday, Improvers completed their "In a Nutshell" module on reasons for not drawing trumps and Beginners learned some tips for defending.
