&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.

Andy and Ali had worked hard to keep the Wednesday and Friday evening sessions going.&nbsp; This is becoming more difficult as numbers are still falling.&nbsp; Strategies to encourage more players to come along in the evening were discussed.&nbsp; Andy had produced a questionnaire and would distribute to members for completion.&nbsp; There would be a hosting system on Wednesdays in place from January.&nbsp; Complaints had been received about poor etiquette at the table.&nbsp; A notice, reminding members of Bridge etiquette, will be displayed.&nbsp; If a player is unhappy with any aspect of etiquette the Director should be called.
&nbsp;
7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bridge Lessons
