AGM NEWS
Members should have received the following letter via Pianola with a copy of the Club Accounts attached. If you have not received this please contact the Secretary and she will arrange for you to see the accounts.
The letter from the Club Secretary read as follows:-
"As this is the week when we would normally be holding the AGM, it seems an appropriate time to circulate copies of the latest accounts.
While these are a very essential part of an annual meeting, they are also the only item we can share with everyone this year. In his Chairman's letter at Christmas, however, Mark had given an update on the Club and also confirmed that we had just received the very thoughtful and extremely generous donation from Muriel Skinn. In spite of this gift, Mark and David had both already agreed that we should all have a free-subscription year in 2021
So, sadly, no prize giving this year, no opportunity to put forward your ideas and comments - and no afternoon tea, followed by a relaxed two hours or so of bridge.
I don't doubt, however, that before next year's AGM, we shall be playing bridge at the Club again.
Meanwhile -
with all good wishes,
Susan”

EBU Award for Stuart Davies
We are delighted to be able to tell everyone that Stuart has been given a Dimmie Fleming Award by the EBU for his long service and valuable contribution to Yorkshire County bridge. It is a very prestigious accolade and a well-earned recognition of the time and hard work he has put into successfully promoting bridge in the region for many years
There have only been a few Yorkshire recipients of this award so it is all the more to Stuart's credit that he has been recognised in this way

Club Update
Once the local infection rate is low and local regulations allow we hope to be able to re-open. We will review the situation as soon as is practicable to assess whether we can fully implement the advice contained in the Risk Assessment plan recently circulated by the EBU and will only reopen if we feel confident that we can fulfil the One Metre plus mitigation stipulations and have suitable measures in place to safeguard members as far as is possible.
If we decide to reopen guidelines will be published regarding the ‘new normal’ for attendance at club drives.
The Committee undertook to review the issue of subscription rebate/refund and decided that any action would be deferred until next year and any consideration would be accounted for in next year’s subscription.
We hope every one is fit and well and look forward to seeing you all (hopefully) sometime in the Autumn.
