The Hon. Secretary read out the minutes of the last AGM held on 21/03/10. All the agenda items except the issue raised by Mr. Ranade were approved unanimously. Mr Ranade had raised an issue of holding the pairs event with a simple Mitchell movement so that NS and EW get separate prizes, as he was of the opinion that scrambled Mitchell played regularly is not the best form of scoring. Members expressed their opinions mostly in favour of scrambled Mitchell. As there was no consensus on the issue, it was put to vote 24 members voted in favour of the scrambled mitchell method and 7 voted against the same. The present system therefore will continue. However it was decided to hold a tournament on the lines suggested by Mr. Ranade once in a while. Mr. Ranade commended the work done by the earlier committee and wished the new committee all the best. The minutes were approved thereafter, proposed by Mr. Milind Bendre and seconded by Mr Chitale.
The Hon. Secretary read out the annual report approved by the Executive Committee. The report was approved unanimously, proposed by Dr. Datar and seconded by Mr. Pramod Joshi.

The Association has Fixed Deposits of approximately Rs. 9 lacks. Mr. Deo sought some clarifications on the accounts which were provided to his satisfaction. Mr. Prakash Vaidya suggested to hold national events to boost our financial position. Mr. Madhav Kshirsagar’s suggestion regarding purchasing Bridge Mates worth Rs. 1.5 lacs by sparing about 1 lac from Association’s funds and the rest by contribution from the members and sponsors. The issue was discussed in detail . It was an unanimous view of the committee and the members that the same is not practicable and was deferred for the time being. The accounts were passed unanimously proposed by Mr. Raju Deo and seconded by Mr. Avinash Chitale.
The meeting unanimously approved the name of the present auditor viz. M/S D. V. Kotwal and co. to continue for one more year with a remuneration of Rs 1500/- per year.
The Executive Committee requested the house to continue with the concessions in entry fees offered to students of less
than 25 years of age. The meeting unanimously approved the same.
The issue raised by Cdr. D. Y. Ogale regarding holding pre tournament lectures and seminars was discussed.The
executive committee has shown its preparedness to hold such lectures provided at least 10 members enroll their names for
the same. A circular will be issued to this effect giving one months time for enrollment.
The Committee has received two resolutions submitted by members.
One was moved by Mr. Pramod Joshi requesting to remove the entry fee concessions given to the members in 75 + age
group. The treasurer informed the house that the Association has suffered a loss of Rs 12140/- during the year due to these
concessions. Some members requested to continue with the concessions. However the resolution of removing the entry fee
concession with immediate effect was passed with majority.
The second resolution was moved by Mr. Anand Patil requesting for enhancement in the entry fees for Monthly Pairs and
Board a Match events in view of continued losses suffered by the Association in practically every event. The hike in entry
fees proposed in the resolution was accepted by the house unanimously and it will be applied with immediate effect.
The entry fees for the Monthly Pairs events will now be Rs. 100 per pair.
The entry fees for the Board a Match events will now be Rs. 200 per team.
The President requested the members to discuss any issue concerning the game. Mr. Kulkarni was of the opinion that
directors give different rulings for similar situations and are biased. It was decided to bring this to the notice of
directors. Members were also requested to go in to the appeal if they do not agree with the Director’s decision. Mr.
Madhav Kshirsagar suggested to explore the possibility of holding the tournaments at selected hotels who provide space,
lunch etc on a package basis. On discussing the issue, it was felt that this may not suit us in view of high costs. Mr. P.
Vaidya requested to hold more T / 4 Duplicate events and offered a sponsorship for one such event. Mr Raju Deo, Mr. Milind
Bendre and Mr. Shrikant Bendre also agreed to sponsor one team event each.
Mrs. Pendharkar and Mrs. Suvarna Jog suggested that the PYC Ladies Branch will now conduct the one day team event
bi-monthly.
Mrs. Aditi Sahasrabudhe suggested that the Bidding boxes should be used frequently in all the Monthly events. It was
decided that the use of bidding boxes is possible only at the PYC events. At all the other venues it is not possible
because of the small size of the tables. Members were requested to buy their own bidding box and bring it to the event. Mr.
Datar suggested to charge Rs 10/- per bidding box to all the members who do not have a bidding box or to those who have
forgotten to bring it to the event. The suggestion was accepted by all.
The President suggested that use of a convention card by players in all the events be made compulsory which will
avoid many irregularities in bidding. However it was felt that this can not be forced on the players as the same is not
compulsory up to state championships.
Mr Pramod Joshi suggested to hold all PRBA monthly pairs events by forming 2 groups and subsequently promoting and
demoting players regularly. This will ensure proper evaluation of players and also make the game more competitive. It is
observed that a random field brings an erratic results on many occasions and good players become a victim of the same. It
was decided to explore this possibility at the earliest. Mrs. Modak expressed her grievance against Cdr. D. Y. Ogale. She
has raise two main points. 1. Cdr. D. Y. Ogale unnecessarily shouts at players for no valid reason which irritates them and
2. His haste in calling a move. It is experienced that he finishes the tournaments in less than 3 hours which itself is
against the official time allotted for the event. This makes players loose their concentration.
Majority of the members present supported these views. It was decided to have a meeting with Cdr. D. Y. Ogale and
inform him about the complaints received.
The meeting ended at 8.00 pm after proposing vote of thanks to the chair and all members by Mr. Avinash Chitale.
