| AGM Sunday 16th August - 5pm on Zoom |
 The SSCBA AGM took place on zoom on Sunday 16th August.
Sadly, Pam Booth-Jones the very able chair for the past 9 years indicated some months ago that she would have to retire as chair of SSCBA. Very luckily Kath Adams (pictured) accepted nomination as chair and was elected unanimously at the AGM held on August 16th 2026, SSCBA will be in good hands. Kath has held many roles on the committee in past years.
Two topics of general interest were raised;
- January/winter sim pairs event. Since covid the SSCBA both summer and winter sim pairs events have been held on Wednesdays as that has been the day of the week when most clubs have been willing to host a heat. It was decided at the meeting to choose a Thursday date early in 2027.
- The league has been played on BBO since 2020, previously it was f2f at Wolverhampton. It is hoped that recent changes on BBO will not prevent this continuing but meanwhile the option of playing matches on RealBridge is being investigated.
