Proposed Statement of Club Values: first draft |
The list below of unspoken values of the Club was endorsed by the Committee at their meeting of 10th April 2017:
- Above all else, Claygate is a friendly, helpful club.
- Each member plays by the rules, as he or she understands them.
- The rules of bridge as authorised by the EBU — that is, as contained in the yellow 2017 Laws Book, the Blue Book and the White Book combined — are vast. Players should not use their superior knowledge of the rules and remedies to their own partnership's advantage.
- Each player should bend over backwards to avoid gaining an advantage from a mistake made by his or her side.
- Every player should respect and abide by the decision of the evening's director, even if he or she disagrees with it.
- We all have things to learn about the game, our partners, our opponents, and the roles we play at the club. Everyone makes mistakes.
- There should never be any unpleasantness. Discussion, yes; argument, never.
- Players should come to the club confident that they will have a good time.
- One's score should never be more important than behaving well.
- Deception may be a legitimate ploy in some aspects of the game, but players who employ it should recognise the ill feeling it can cause among opponents.
