## **Report 2023** - The membership stands at 97 members. - 7 to 10 trustees/committee members are needed. This includes three officers (see attached sheet). - A massive thank you is to be extended to Alan Wallace and Graham Cox for their efforts in directing the online Thursday bridge sessions. - Thanks are also due to Rosemary Wallace for her efforts in balancing the club’s accounts. - Teaching lessons continue on Tuesday and Friday mornings and I would encourage all members to advertise these as much as possible. Lessons bring in new members and are important for the continuing existence of the club. - Thanks to Richard Spargo for his unceasing help with many repairs. His continues to be an important and vital contribution. - Thanks to all the Directors: Graham Cox, Richard Spargo, Phil Leaf, George Farnan, Tony Watson and Alan Wallace. Without them there would be no bridge. - Christopher Patrick and Tony Watson have helped enormously with many aspects of the club. Tony is always ready to step in and direct when needed. - Many thanks to Irene Whitfield for volunteering to help in finding partners. - A final thanks to our retiring Chairman, Alan Wallace, for all his efforts towards improving the Club in the last three years. His guidelines on raising standards at the Club have been most helpful. Alan has worked extremely hard this year and his efforts have been greatly appreciated. - All trophy competitions were completed last year and Quarterly pairs’ events were completed. Quarterly Teams events were not completed. A special mention to Tim Baelz and Graham Cox on winning Wearside’s Bergson Cup this year. Allan Davies.
