&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In the absence of the Treasurer the Chairman presented the accounts.&nbsp; There were no questions.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Building, Maintenance and Improvements
Bridge Room &ndash; An estimate of &nbsp;&pound;2869.40 had been received to decorate the Bridge Room.&nbsp; This was agreed.&nbsp; The Club will be closed from the 20th December until the 3rd January for the work to be carried out.
Fire Safety &ndash; The ladder on the flat roof (to be used in the event of fire on the upper floors) has vanished.&nbsp; Agreed to investigate the cost of inserting rungs into the wall from the upper floors&nbsp; to the back yard.
Tea Room &ndash; Arrangements to be made to remove two extractor fans and make good the walls.&nbsp; The strip lights to be replaced with LED lights in the tea room.
Gutter &ndash; The gutter in the back yard needs cleaning.

&nbsp;
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Competitions Committee Report
Pete explained Blue Points and pointed out that they could be allocated by a club on 2 occasions throughout the year for the winners of its major Championships.&nbsp; This, for Plymouth, seems most appropriate for the Winter Cup and the Tudor Winter Cup which finish at the end of the year. The points are awarded by the EBU when the club sends a spread sheet to them with the details of all the competitors and with allocation of Blue Points to the winners.&nbsp; Pete undertook to send the details to the EBU. The cost is &pound;2.76 per table of 4.
Pete gave details of the Playday&nbsp; to be held January 12th when players will compete for 2 cups:&nbsp;&nbsp; The Northcott Cup (open) and&nbsp; the Jan Plumb Cup (NGS 4 and below). 
Players can only win one cup!&nbsp; Pasties available.&nbsp; Please put names on the notice board.
The&nbsp; web site to be updated soon.

&nbsp;
7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bridge Lessons
