Elliott moved the Minutes of the Sept. 28th, 2024 Board Meeting be accepted as presented; John Olsen seconded.  Motion carried .

Bill reviewed the Financial reports.

For the year ending 30-Sep-2024, the Statement of Revenue and Expenditures showed a Net Loss of $2,010 as compared to the previous year loss of $12,070.  The Unit had total assets of $41,614 and liabilities of $13,082.  There was an error of $500.00 showing as a training expense when it should have been added to the honorarium expense.  

 

Currently to 30-Nov-2024, the unit is showing a net income of $1,703 with $41,344 in total assets and $11,109 in current liabilities. Bill moved and Tim seconded that the Financial Reports be accepted as presented.  Carried.

 

New Business –   Dates and times were discussed regarding the March 2025 Halifax Tournament.  The Venue will be Mount St. Vincent University.  Several suggestions were put forward:  1. Friday Tournament times could be 1:30 and then 6:00 pm;  2.Perhaps only have a two day Tournament;  3. Maybe have a two out of three sessions bridge day.  Gerry commented that evening sessions are not well attended. And the last session would be late in ending. 4. Gerry also thought that if we have one session on Friday, starting at 02:00, we may not have to pay the daily rent.  If we couldn’t get this reduced rent, then we would have two sessions.

 

The Motion – Gerry :  will check with the Mount.  Can we have one session on Friday for half the daily rent?  If not, we will have bridge on Saturday and Sunday only.  Seconded by John Olsen.  Carried.

Bill Halliday will look after getting the 40 x 4 bidding insert cards, without having to buy the bidding boxes, if possible.

Much discussion re Brian and Fran.  All were in favor of helping them in some way.  Glen will draft a letter for Club members, to present to ACBL.

No further business, Liz moved the meeting adjourn.
