Committee's Comments
An Appeal from the Open Pairs was to be heard at 9.45 am. The pair that did not appeal was present from 9.45 am. At 9.55 am the appealing pair had not arrived so it was decided to dismiss the appeal and retain the deposit. The Committee wishes to draw people's attention to the work involved. The Director had to complete the necessary paperwork, find the players and tell them where and when the appeal is to be held. The convenor had to make sure there was an a Committee, which is a considerable task since there were at least eight other Committees to be arranged. The members of the Committee had to be present, and sat doing nothing for some time. The other pair involved also had to attend and also sat doing nothing for a time. The time of the Committee was such that the Director and the Committee and the other pair had to attend when they might easily have been doing something else, yet there was no other suitable time. Players who wish to appeal are expected to attend at the agreed time.
