MINUTES FOR MBC
COMMITTEE MEETING ON THURSDAY MARCH 26
Present: Colin/Sue/Carol/David Head
Apologies: Lesley/Tom/Chris
Minutes
The minutes of the last meeting on October 16 2014 were agreed and signed. The question of the future of Bridgemates still hasn’t been resolved. David and Lesley will look at the costs of buying new equipment and report back to the next committee meeting. However it was agreed that the benefits of the system might not outweigh members’ objections to the scheme.
Minutes of the EGM on January 8th were also agreed and signed.
It was agreed that in future minutes will be available to read on the website.
Finance
Sue reported that we were currently running a £200-300 surplus and had over £6000 in the bank. Six monthly draft accounts attached. She reported that she had been able to find an account that paid better rates.
Agreed to decide if we needed to take any action after the Bridgemate decision.
Future SIMS
Agreed to take part in the EBU Spring and Autumn SIM pairs in addition to CIN and the Wiltshire county events and to cover the costs.
Directors
Colin welcomed David Head to the committee. We now have four directors – Sue, David, Chris and Richard. However Richard would like to do less and it was agreed that the directors would liaise on a monthly basis on who did which dates and let Lesley know so she can add the director in charge of each date.
AoB
Colin reported that Gerry Monk had died today. Gerry had been a member of the club for many years and will be sadly missed. Carol will send Margaret a card on behalf of the club
Sue raised the issue of returning money to people unable to attend the Christmas Party due to illness or other clashing commitments. It was agreed that only if people cancelled more than 7 days before the party would their ticket price be refunded.
It was agreed that in future the party would be called the annual prize giving since it now happens in January. Next year’s date is Sunday January 17th. Sue to book Goss Croft Hall. David to check for a replacement caterer.
It was agreed that directors would emphasis every evening the need to speed in playing and keeping down the noise and that if we can’t speed up playing we will have to consider a clock. We also confirmed that all members should help clear up after events so we can all leave together.
NEXT MEETING MONDAY JUNE 15TH PRIOR TO MONDAY TEAMS.
