3.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Matters Arising 
&nbsp;
Plymstock Bridge Club &ndash; still awaiting more information.
Courses for Teachers &ndash; A weekend course for Bridge Teachers will be arranged in October.&nbsp; This will cost &pound;84.80 per person to attend.&nbsp; The EBU will appoint the teaching instructors, pay &pound;54 for room hire and allow &pound;8 per person for food.&nbsp; A minimum of 12 people will be needed to make the course financially viable.&nbsp; After some discussion about the financial implications of the course. &nbsp;Proposed by Charles Greenlees and seconded by Richard Ayres that provided we have sufficient interest the course is run.&nbsp; Unanimously agreed.
Course for Directors &ndash; A decision on this will be taken at a later date.
Future of Bridge Classes &ndash; The Chairman will be visiting the Thursday evening class this week.
&nbsp;
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Correspondence.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
A letter from Ailie Henry was read to the Committee.&nbsp; The Chairman would reply.
&nbsp;
5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Treasurer&rsquo;s Report
&nbsp;
The Committee received and accepted a profit and loss statement from the Treasurer as at 30th June 2017.&nbsp; It was noted that the Playday had generated an income of &pound;100.&nbsp; Membership was slightly down on previous years.&nbsp; It was agreed not to transfer money to the Deposit Account at the moment.
&nbsp;
6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Report of Competitions Committee and Competitions Schedule
&nbsp;
Richard presented a schedule of competitions up until April 2018.&nbsp; It was noted that all members are welcome to enter, but competitions stipulating for Pairs to NGS4 or NGS6 or NGS8 can only be won by players of that grade. &nbsp;The Playday on the 1st July was enjoyed by all who attended.&nbsp; It was hoped to make this a regular feature of the bridge calendar. It was suggested that next time the lunch break be a bit longer.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;
7.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Code of Conduct
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A decision on the wording of this document to be decided at the next meeting.
&nbsp;
8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Review of Room Hire Fees
&nbsp;
At present the fees are &pound;10 for the small upstairs room, &pound;12 for the large upstairs room and &pound;15 for the large downstairs room per session (morning/afternoon/evening).&nbsp; It was proposed to increase the fees by a small amount next year.&nbsp; U3A had asked whether a cupboard could be provided for their use.
&nbsp;
9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Proposed Mentoring Programme
&nbsp;
After some discussion this was considered a good idea in principle; however how it would be organised needs further consideration.
&nbsp;
10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Building Maintenance and Improvements
&nbsp;
It was agreed that some maintenance work is needed as soon as possible.&nbsp; Quotes for work in the kitchen and decoration in the hall would be obtained for further discussion.
Awning for front door, decided not to proceed with this at present.
&nbsp;
11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any Other Business
&nbsp;
Jenny Young suggested that income could be obtained by renovating the top floor into a living area and letting it as a self-contained unit.&nbsp; Due to time constraints this was deferred till the next meeting.
&nbsp;
Jim Dunn was thanked for laminating notices for the &ldquo;library&rdquo;.
&nbsp;
