Proposal from the committee: That an Extraordinary General Meeting be held in September at the Hammond Hall, when full discussion of topics would be possible. This was agreed nem con.
There has been another proposal from Alan Timmis as follows: –
“That in memory of our founder and all the good work he did over many years the name of the club be changed to Bassingham Hughes Bridge Club (or some such).”
A constant reminder to members of a much loved man without whom there would be no club at all.
Noted that Alan was not present to speak to the proposal so proposed that this should be deferred until the September Extraordinary meeting when a full discussion will be easier to hold. Proposed Pat and seconded Dave and agreed by all.
Provisionally the club hopes to resume bridge sessions in the Hammond hall from Thursday 1st July. A further committee meeting will be held in June to confirm the restart.
Tony Tyler, secretary
