Bawburgh Bridge Club Newletter February 2008
Hi All,
Here are some
of the issues discussed at a recent Committee Meeting.
1.
Membership 2008-2009.
The membership
fee of £8 for 2008-2009 will fall due on 1st April and, this year, needs to be
paid by 30th April.
The earlier ‘closure date’ will allow us to produce and print the new
Membership booklet for issue in May.
If you know
that you will definitely NOT be renewing your membership please let me know as
soon as possible.
We agreed to
admit as members ten people who have been on the Waiting List for some time.
Any additional
new applicants as of now will be placed on the Waiting List.
2.
Visitors
A reminder that
visitors are welcome to play on
Wednesdays whilst Wednesday attendances remain reasonable but not on
Thursdays which are strictly ‘members only’.
3.
Assistance at Club
Sessions.
Following the
old adage ‘Many hands make light work’, we ask for your co-operation:
a)
Please WASH UP and DRY your own cup/saucer or glass if the dishwasher is
full
or is
already operating.
b)
Please help with clearing away at the end of the afternoon.
In particular please
note
that there are FOUR different sorts of CHAIRS which should be placed in ‘like’
stacks
- light blue with no padding at all
- light blue with pads ONLY on the seat
- light blue with pads on seat AND back
- DARK BLUE padded chairs.
This
stacking helps the caretaker, and ‘mixed’ stacking can cause cracking of the
plastic.
c)
Please place BRIDGEMATE handsets and playing card ‘BOARDS’ NEXT TO (not
in) their
boxes
on the platform, so that they can be put back in order ready for the next use.
d)
Please try to keep NOISE LEVELS down, especially at ends of rounds where
the
discussion of hands and genial chatter can often contribute to the rising
decibels.
e)
Finally, please listen carefully to all announcements, especially before
play starts.
3.
Valentine’s Day Hog Roast.
This event has
already sold out, with people on a waiting list.
If you have bought a
ticket and
discover that you will not be able to come, please let Jeannette Pamplin know.
4
EBU Changes.
When
the situation is clearer and there are firm proposals, we shall consult with all
of
our members before any decision (eg
whether or not to affiliate the Club) is made by
the Committee.
