Prior to play we had a Management Committee meeting which provided these three significant motions:

Starting on April Fool's Day we invite all players to bring their favourite sweet or savoury biscuit for donation to the month's afternoon tea. Marie will manage the donations (along with the usual tea/coffee, sweetener and milk).

2. The Management Committee will be recommending to the AGM (being held on 13 May) that there be a subscription of $20 for all home club members (part but not all Bridge Federations capitation fees).

3. The Management Committee will be recommending to the AGM that table fees be increased by $5 to go into a particular fund for the acquisition of sufficient Bridgemates and controller.
