I better put an oar in.
I asked Rob to coordinate this rather than trying to do it myself because I've
got a pretty full plate and because he's from a club that wasn't in on the first
one... I appreciate him stepping up to this task!

I asked Rob to make these options available after I heard about his first post,
but my thinking was that any given club would choose which of these they wanted
to do... either not participate at all, or only exchange with clubs they didn't
exchange with before, or exchange with all clubs that wanted to exchange with
all possible/willing clubs.
(the key point is that your club should GIVE as many as it GETS... none, some
(just newbies) or as many as want to play)
This makes the tracking a lot harder but Rob has Robin's spread as a starting
point, I think he can handle it!
I'm assuming that when he says "vote" he means "send him what your club's choice
is for this" rather than posting here. Once he has collated that presumably
he'll present the master list of who is trading with who as a variant on the
spread Robin collated (which shows who has traded with who so far)
Hopefully that's helpful... I'm not trying to second guess Rob here.
