Thanks

It was great to have everyone help with the tables and chairs at the start of last months’ meeting and taking the same down after the meeting. Also taking the tables contents: spittoons/water jugs/cracker plates back to the kitchen. Could we please continue this new routine.

Reminder

We can’t arrive to do the setting up activities any earlier than 7:30pm as we interrupt the cleaner(s) schedule, the cleaners are in the hall until 7:30pm.

AGM

Following the AGM, the committee received confirmation that the Club website was now up to date with all the AGM reports, as well as the new club rules.

Starting times

Having regard to the AGM general business discussion on starting times, the committee reviewed the start times of our monthly tastings and agreed it should remain at 8 pm. The AGM start of 7.45 pm was because there is no quaffer before the meeting starts.

Thanks

Survey

Your committee is trying something new with a survey coming soon to members, your opinions matter on the running of this club and how things are done. This will be coming to your Inboxes from Wayne Kennedy, our Treasurer, for you to complete.

If two members of your household have the same email address, we will send you two copies of the same survey so that you can each provide us with your views.

Please check your Junk Mail or Spam folders for this survey in early October, to ensure you don’t miss out on your chance to comment.

Thanks
