Players,

(Committee members wishing to add or change their photo on the Committee page should contact Matt.)
A news item on The Riot-ACT website brings word that the Chisholm Tavern will be changing its name to The Jag Bar.
We welcome you to run riot with the ample opportunity for wordplay in the comments.
Also, local rock/blues/mod/pop juggernauts The Feldons will be kicking out the jams at the newly monickered Jag Bar this Sunday (December 13). Drop in for some good tunes from 2.30.
The Serbian Club have advised us that they are looking to host teams in the upcoming 2010 Summer season, and are in negotiations to have their tables re-felted and the lighting upgraded.
Interested teams should contact Steve on 0412 637 951.

The September meeting minutes were passed.
After a brief positive wrapup of the Nationals (including congratulating our Ladies team for being the first ever ACT team to make the finals at Nationals, and very high praise for our Opens and Masters teams), Doug Percy resigned as President, and was thanked by the Committee for his hard work and dedication to the Association. Joseph Morrall resigned as Vice President, nominated himself for President, and was elected unopposed. Joseph nominated Matt Kendrick for Vice President, who was also elected unopposed.
