Club meeting 14 March 2021

We had a great turn-out to the club today for the AGM and lots of games got played too. The current committee was re-elected (Philip is President; Kit, treasurer; and Stu, secretary) and Rob and Andrew joined as committee members. The club fees remain at $50 for the year. We agreed to make 10am the regular opening time as this is more convenient for anyone who wants to get in a game and then leave early or have a second game in the afternoon. While we were meeting today, the Scouts were also clearing up the storeroom which makes things easier when we are setting up the tables. Thanks to everyone who took part in today's meeting.

And here's a brief report of our games:
