Cup 2012 - Charity Donation
We
are pleased to announce that a cheque for £1,316.10
has been sent to Secret World. This represents the
total sum raised - the costs of printing the hand
records and bottles of wine for prizes are being met
by the County.
There are lots of people to thank - firstly, to Ken
and Ann for the
excellent administration of the event, secondly to all
of the club
heat organisers and thirdly to Dave Latchem for the
commentary. But we also need to thank everyone who
participated and contributed to the monies raised,
especially those who made extra donations above the
entry fee.
We are also indebted to the continuing support from
both our
affiliated and non affiliated clubs, and sincerely
hope that this will
long continue.
Next year's charity will be Arthritis Research with
the funds being
used to support Somerset activities or projects.

Delays -
Championship Pairs Event
|
You will be aware we
experienced significant delays during this event both
at the beginning and at the interval. Although the
issues that created the delays were well handled by
the director, the SCBA Committee must learn from the
problems we experienced so that in future the director
is in a position to deal with similar issues
expeditiously.
The format of the
event itself is quite complicated to run, and with
the necessity to score up at the tea interval,
delays can be experienced at that time, particularly
if appeals have to be dealt with.
I will be conducting
a thorough review of the event over the next few
days and the SCBA Committee will be considering my
findings and recommendations at its next meeting.
The conclusions from the findings will be published
on the SCBA website in the normal way after the next
committee meeting.
The numbers that turned
up on Saturday were the most we had seen at this event
for a number of years. It was therefore a real pity we
experienced the problems we did. I genuinely hope
members will have not been put off from entering the
event next year.

Change of
AGM Date
|
It
has recently come to our attention that the EBU has
changed their original published date for the Pachabo
event and it now clashes with the date of our currently
published 2012 AGM date.
Four
members of the county's Executive Committee have made it
through to this year's final of the county's
Championship Knock Out Teams event, the winners of which
will be automatically invited to represent the county in
the Pachabo event. As a result it has been decided to
bring the AGM forward by a week. The new 2012 AGM date
is Saturday 9th June 2012. The AGM
venue will still be at Oake with a start time of 1pm. I
hope that no members are seriously inconvenienced by
this date change.

Resignation
of County Secretary and New Appointment
I regret to inform
members that Rachael Brown our county secretary has resigned.
She has found that with her other commitments, the county
secretary role has become too demanding on her time. Rachael
has been our county secretary since 2008, and on behalf of the
members I would like to thank her for the service she has
provided.
I am pleased to
report that Joe Patrick will cover the county secretarial role
until the next AGM on **17 June 2012. Joe will be co opted as a
member of the Executive Committee until that time.
The change in
county secretary will take place with immediate effect, and
Rachael will work with Joe to ensure a smooth transfer of the
county's records.
Should you wish to
contact Joe, his contact details are as follows:
