Annual General Meeting - October 27th 2017
It was very encouraging and gratifying to see so many members (25) present
at our Annual General Meeting. Based on the enthusiasm and support shown,
the interest is certainly there for making the MAA even stronger in the years
to come. Hats off to those who contributed to making this past year (2016-2017)
an enjoyable and successful year.
The following is a list of members who were elected to the
Executive Committee for this coming year:-

Meeting Summary
- Joe Paul will follow up with CCOM with regards to the MAA becoming a member.
.
- Rule #4 has been eliminated from the category 'MISDEAL' of the Jelico All
Fours Rules.
The rule states 'A player must call a misdeal at the start of a new round
if he has too few or too many cards in his hand. He must call this
misdeal before the first trick of the round is played. Failure to do so could
result in cheating and hence a bullseye to the team dealing'. Basically
this is a misdeal by the dealer and, as such, one (1) point is awarded to the
opposing team.
- Some more clarity on Rule #5 from the same category 'MISDEAL'
will be addressed at the next Executive Meeting.
- All required reports were presented and accepted by the membership.
- Proposal to revise the constitution on the length of term an officer
can hold a position was approved. An officer may serve up to four
years in a position. The Executive Committee may appoint someone
if a position is not filled.
- TROPHY DISCUSSION: Going forward, only the Challenge trophies
will be presented to the winners. A new method of rewarding players
will be considered such as a point system for money coupons towards
future games. This idea will be discussed in more detail at the next
Executive Meeting.
Taking it easy for now
Let's tell the President he's doing an excellent job.
