The 36th Annual General Meeting was held on Wednesday 9th June 2010.
Here are the main points from the meeting.
The Vets league will now be one-up one-down.
There will be an extension to the rule on re-arranging matches. Failure to tell the fixture secretary of a re-arranged match will cost both teams points. The exact wording to be amended in the rules prior to the publication of the handbook.
There was a discussion about running a Racketball league. There will not be a league, however, providing there are enough entries an open cup event will run in line with the Peter Kramer Cup. Teams will be 4 players, scoring will be best of five games PAR 11. Please contact Martin Roberts if you wish to enter a team.
There was a discussion on PAR scoring. Traditional English will remain the scoring system for the forthcoming season. However the committee would like all players to consider their view on this matter as many other leagues are moving over to PAR.
Pete Billson will initiate discussion with Junior representatives from the clubs aiming to build on last year's round robins.
The AGM will be held at 7:30pm on 9 June 2010 at Brampton Manor. If you wish to request an item for inclusion on the agenda this must be sent to Martin Roberts by 31st May 2010. All club reps should attend. Players are very welcome.
The fixtures meeting will be held at 7:30pm on 23 June 2010 at Abbeydale. In order for this meeting run efficiently it is very important that team representatives arrive on time and that a representative attends for each team.
