Add somewhere! 

• Manage monthly charges for games played  Louise thinks this is meant to be part of the TD role, at least that is what Tony W told her. It involves checking what they invoice for is what we actually played. It is not an arduous job in grand scheme of things  (removed from Treasurer)

Calendar 

• Prepare calendar for approval by the committee with consideration for the Yorkshire League match dates. Display on notice board and website. Tony: is this not an ongoing rather than annual event?  Why just the Yorkshire league matches?  It’s surely all events in the club – teaching, teams, social etc. Maybe it says something about liaising with …….. different people I the club who have roles that require slots in the calendar.  What about the sub committee

Competitions

Internal? Club Competitions 

• Determine competition formats, rules and dates in conjunction with Competitions Subcommittee, for approval by the Committee What sub committee? Is this something that has to be approved by November (next committee meeting?) i.e. added into the 2025 Calendar
• Display notices & signing-in sheets. Link to Stuart Holtham who prepares the posters?  Is this something someone else could do for you? 
• Prepare reminders  how? for TDs to announce competitions. All ???to be posted two weeks before the event. 
• Publish results of competitions for the winners, runners-up, notice board, website and Committee  Is this a liaise with WebMaster for website. Again is this something someone else could take responsibility for the notice board?  And what about the Committee – is this just something in your Report for the next committee meeting?

External Competitions (YCBA/EBU/ECATS) 

• Liaise with external organisations on rules, dates, entry conditions, fees, administration, commentaries and deal files for external competitions  What happens now Tony? And this should exclude Team events which should be a separate item, ie liaise with Club Team Captain??   ADDED SINCE emailing TH: encourage members to play in J High competitions
• Determine club qualifiers for external competitions. ??  How and with whom?
• Display posters & signing-in sheets. Does this happen?  Should it?  Club don’t pay so isn’t it up to individuals – simply to be aware of them?
•  Prepare reminders for TDs to announce competitions. All to be posted Posted and Announced are two different ways of communicating two weeks before the event. 
• Publish results of competitions for the winners, runners-up, notice board, website and Committee.   This is as per Club Competitions above

Directing

• Adopt the laws and ethics of bridge, as published by the EBU, for playing bridge at Olicana. Ensure members and directors are aware of changes as they are published How is this done currently?
• Liaise with subject matter experts for advice eg Stuart Davies, Phil Godfrey, EBU.  Personally I’d take this out as it’s obvious you would identify someone if you need advice!!!
• Determine How is this done currently given the issues we have been having?? club standard movements to include: pairs, teams, one-winner movements, individual competitions and guided play events. (liaise with Janet Leach for advice) I’d take out – again you would obviously identify someone who could help, not necessarily Janet!
• Provide table cards for Howell movements, teams and special movements. 
• Provide instructions for directors how?  Written or verbal? and maintain the box of essential TD items such as?
• Maintain a monthly assignment of TDs and scorers for all club sessions, to be posted on the club website and notice board. This task is delegated to Susan Fisk.  I think it might be better written liaise with Susan Fisk to ensure ……. 
• Identify and train new TDs (using services from EBU/YCBA where appropriate). This might be other options eg online and then some training might be inhouse e.g. Roger Lott. Suggest rewrite.

Scorers

• Maintain instructions for scorers  Where are these held? In a file somewhere?  Why Janet – does she have a specific responsibility as not listed anywhere currently? (liaise with Janet Leach for advice) 

Maintain a monthly assignment of scorers for all club sessions to be posted on the club website and notice board. This task is delegated to Susan Fisk.. Why not just combine with the above re TDs

• Train new scorers. This task is delegated to Ian Brown. So why isn’t Ian responsible for maintaining instructions

Duplimating

• Provide a team to duplimate boards for all required sessions. This task is delegated to Liz Foster. So why not just rewrite and say liaise with Duplimator Leader or whatever Liz is called as she is responsible for providing the team, not really your responsibility???  Or even just take it out altogether.

Online Bridge

• Maintain relationships with providers of online bridge services. This is something you need to find someone else to do and then make the link …. Liaise with…. To ensure the club is up-to-date with …….
• Set up and manage online club sessions.   You don’t do this?! Ian Jane does Realbridge (yes Shiona used to) and BBO?  Again a liaison role or not???
• Co-ordinate a team of online TDs. ????

Finance  Louise says she doesn’t think any of these 3 items below are being done at the moment?

• Authorise payments for external competitions to be made by the Club Treasurer, unless covered by the Club Team Captain. 
• Authorise payments for online bridge services, to be made by the Club Treasurer.  Is that you?
• Identify non chargeable games for the cashless payment process Its’s all cashless now so what happens now?

General

• Display information where??? on Best Behaviour at Bridge, use of mobile phones, finding a partner etc. to promote an enjoyable game of bridge at Olicana,
