Match Reports

BT lost both the Ipswich Borough Council & the Suffolk County Council matches. However both events were enjoyed by all. Reports have been done & sent out.

Knockouts

Erik was away but in general terms the timescales set should be achievable.

Match Schedule

The schedule is up to date, just the Marie Hunt details to add but that is only for 4 players.

Special Events

The next Fratsor event is scheduled for September. Ian Brill is the contact.

Membership

The membership remains at 71 including 7 life members. We still need new members.

Finance

Andrew reported that money is going in & out as planned with no problems or unexpected costs. We have received a grant of£1400 from ATLAS. Next year there is no funding from BT into ATLAS so we can expect a smaller grant.

Andrew is making financial provision to subsidise the Autumn meeting..

A.O.B

Stuart suggested Aldeburgh for next year’s summer meeting. We all thought that would be a good opportunity to play Foursomes at one of Suffolk’s seldom visited courses. Stuart’s survey from was discussed and looks great.

Alan has booked the AGM for 3rd December in room 30. Also all normal meetings booked for room 30 up to November.

New constitution section

If a committee member fails to attend or dial in to two consecutive meetings without offering good reason, then they will have effectively resigned from the committee. Their vacancy can then be filled by a co-opted replacement.

New constitution section

Life members need to rejoin yearly by completing and returning their contact detail information but the cost is free. If they don't rejoin or maintain contact with BTRGS for 3 consecutive years then they are deemed to have rescinded their life membership.
