EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING (EGM) - Wednesday 28th October

Further to the proposals made at the Club AGM in May by Janet Dowdle & Roy Milnes a sub-committee was convened to consider the points raised and review the current constitution. The sub committee considered all points raised and has taken these into consideration when re-writing the Constitution. It is recommended that the Club Constitution should be changed with immediate effect. The proposed versions have been emailed to all members.

Winter Handicap Teams Competition

Next Wednesday 28th October is the first of our Winter Handicap Teams Competition 26/27
This year the tournament will be handicapped using a rolling average of a team's IMP scores to produce a handicap.
The results for a session will be ranked based on the handicapped IMP scores.   Each team will win one ranking point for every other team they beat.
The tournament winner will be the team with the most ranking points (from their best 5 sessions).
We are trialling this handicapping method and will evaluate it at the end of the 26/27 season.  It is based on the method used by the GCBA and 
has the advantage that it takes account of how a team is playing rather than using the team members’ NGS grades.
