TATSFIELD BRIDGE CLUB
Meeting held on Monday 27th January 2025 at 1.30pm. Kay Longley spoke to the members of the Club and told them that she was holding the first AGM of the Club because she was looking to open a bank account in the Club’s name and had discovered that, in order to do so, we need a constitution and committee officers and members. We also need to have an Annual General Meeting.
Kay re-started the Club after the Covid lockdown having no recollection of a Constitution or Committee. This will be started as from now. A copy of the Minutes of the AGM will be available for you to look at on Monday 3rd February 2025 at the Bridge Club and on the website.
