Bob Fearn is hoping for some help  in running another facet of his latest project .. CompassVirtual. The link will take you to a full description of what it does but, in a nutshell, it is a service that anyone organising a RealBridge session open to outsiders may use. CompassVirtual is really a big Compass Club_in_the_sky - with a Compa$$ module attached. With funds in your CompassVirtual account you can play RealBridge anywhere that opts to use this service.

As previously announced the 2022 subscription levies were struck as at 1-January. Invoices have been emailed: if you didn't get one it means there was sufficient in your Compa$$ account to cover the charge. Thank you to all who topped up their account beforehand as recommended. You can view the current state of your Compa$$ account by logging in to mycompasss.com to check your balance and transactions over any date interval.

Thank you to all of you who attended our AGM on Monday night, both in person and on Zoom and to those who sent their apologies.  It was lovely to see you all and congratulations to all the prize winners.

The following motion was resoundingly passed at the meeting and  I quote

A reminder that our AGM and prize-giving is to be held at the club rooms next Monday 6th December with a start time of 7pm.

The AGM is to be held on 6th December 2021 at 7pm on Zoom but the prize giving will be next year – possibly as a “start” to the year.

There are some committee members who are not standing again for the 2022 year.  All members have the right to nominate a member to the committee should they wish to do so.

Subscriptions and table money will remain the same in 2022.

Michael Jeans' professional photos are available under the Galleries tab in our top menu.

The section of the website at www.mycompasss.com that reflects members' Compa$$ table money accounts has been brought up to date. Low-balance alerts have gone out to a few members. One or two deposits were still to be recorded at time of updating so please disregard any notice you may have got if you have made a payment this week.

Congratulations to all eleven to pass New Zealand Bridges' latest Club Directors - our own Clare Coles and Pam Moore included. The test was the first of a new on-line exam. We are so lucky to have two new qualified directors at our club. What a fabulous achievement. Congratulations Pam and Clare.

Congratulations to "our" Anna Kalma (now very honorary affiliate member of Cambridge), and Karen Martelletti - both of our region - who, along with Sam Coutts of Dunedin and John Skipper of Christchurch have been elected to the Board of NZ Bridge. It was re-election in the case of Karen and John who are current members.
