Held at Westcliff British Legion.
Chairperson opened meeting by asking for a bit of hush as too much background noise means people can’t be heard or don’t get the full information.
Secretary read minutes from last meeting (4 September 2013).
Proposed by Barbara Chittenden. Seconded by Lynn Remmer. Agreed.
There were no letters to be read. Reminder that letters must be received 14 days prior to the meeting so they can be published on the website.
Ladies Pairs
Competition will be held at SCC on 17 October and there are 48 pairs entered. The draw will take place at 8pm sharp whether you are there or not.
When you arrive you will find a sign-in desk in the lobby. Once both of you have arrived you will draw a number between 1 and 4, to determine which board you’ll play on. There will be 3 boards upstairs and 1 board downstairs; once we are left with the last 2 pairs on each board, the remaining games will be played upstairs. It was confirmed that sandwiches have been ordered.
Captains Cup
Competition will be held at Windermere on 31 October. Teams are reminded to bring £3 raffle prize.
Christmas events
Names and monies for the children’s Xmas party were handed in; there are 46 children attending. There is a lot of work involved in preparing for this so no names will be accepted after this meeting.
Maggie Frost asked if a new player who has just joined can put names in for the party. She was told that the names must be in tonight so to find out this evening and let us know.
Xmas draw books were given out – 5 books per registered player. Any unsold tickets must be purchased by the player. Please encourage your players to sell as many as possible; it is the only fundraising we do to help buy all the trophies. If you need additional tickets see Secretary Tricia Smith; she will have them with her at the Pairs, Captains Cup, and next meeting.
Chairperson’s AOB
For the Triples and Ladies Pairs please bring along any supporters that you can to chalk and check.
Carol Burrell’s mobile number is wrong on the committee list. It is correct on the team list; 07894 749148.
Treasurer advised she had received £24 league fees.
See you at the Captains Cup if not the Pairs.
