Details of proposal from Keith Ambrose, Braunston Furrowers:

 

From 2010, instead of 3 feeder divisions we have a straight ladder of five divisions.

 

This would mean that following the 2009 competition, divisional status would be decided as follows:

 

The top two divisions made up as under current rules.

 

Division 3 consisting of:

Three teams relegated from Div 1

Teams finishing in 2nd and 3rd in each of the regional divisions

Highest scoring 4th placed team from regional divisions

 

Division 4 consisting of:

Remaining two teams who finished 4th in the regional divisions

Teams who finished 5th or 6th

2 highest scoring 7th placed teams

 

Division 5 consisting of the rest, i.e.:

Remaining 7th placed team

Teams who finished 8th 9th or 10th in the regional divisions

 

From 2010 onwards operate a 2 up – 2 down system in each division.

 

This proposal would benefit the game as teams find a level appropriate to their ability and yet have a chance to be promoted and experience playing against better teams.

It also prevents any boredom of playing the same few teams each season and mainly it prevents teams having nothing to play for from midway through the season. On July 9th in the 2008 season (i.e. after 10 scheduled games) only 10 of the 30 divisional teams had a chance of winning their division and realistically it was probably only 7, which is less than 25%.

 

 

Possible amendment:

From 2010: Premier Division, Division One, Division Two and two lower divisions with a North-South divide.

Promotion/relegation:  two up, two down from the top three divisions and one promoted from each regional division.

Minutes

The Minutes of the previous AGM were approved.

 

Matters arising

The Chairman noted that Pat Tyler had  reviewed the position with regard to continuing as Treasurer/Secretary and confirmed that he would be available for re-election should the League so wish.

 

Chairman’s report

            The Chairman presented his report (copy attached)

 

Treasurer’s Report & Accounts

The Treasurer, Pat Tyler, presented the Accounts, and commented that the cost of Trophies etc was actually £148 less than the estimate included in the accounts, and this would be reflected in next year’s accounts. The Accounts were approved “nem con.”

 

Election of Officers

There being no other nominations, Lyndon Whittaker was re-elected Chairman and Pat Tyler was re-elected Treasurer & Secretary for the ensuing year.

 

League Consultative Committee

 

The following were elected to the Consultative Committee :

Premier Division :           Graham Storey – Old Black Horse, Houghton

Division 1 :                    No nominees

Division North:               No nominees

Division South:               Roger Whittle, White Horse Morcott

Division Central:             Bob Glennie, Horseshoe Oakham

Division West:               No nominees

 

 

Subscriptions

It was agreed that the club subscriptions would be £15.00 for the 2008 season

 

Match Meals

After discussion there was a consensus that meal arrangements/payments were the responsibility of the Home Team but that the opposition/visiting team had a responsibility to notify the Home Team/Landlord in reasonable time should a number of their players not be eating or stopping after the match.

 

Postponements

 

The need for courtesy was emphasised in a discussion provoked by a last minute cancellation of a match this season. A team unable to raise a full side should contact the opposition captain at least 24 hours before the match to ask if it can be re-scheduled. It was pointed out that teams can fulfill fixture obligations even when short of a full squad of six players.

 

Substitutions

After discussion there was a consensus that substitutions should be allowed in cases of emergency (eg a player falling ill during a match) but that it would be with the agreement of both captains.
 

A O B

Jim Henderson raised the question of “marking out” of pistes and it was confirmed that the rule is that a piste should have its boundaries marked by string or similar if either captain requests it.

 

Date of next meeting

No date was set for the next meeting, which would be the signing on meeting but Pat Tyler stated that everyone would be notified well in advance.
