1)      Minutes of the meeting held on 2 July 2012

Approved.

 

2)      Matters arising

a)      Complaint, Radcliffe/Ramsbottom – KB had replied to Jim Chadwick as agreed at the last Committee meeting.  No response had been received.

 

b)     Non-appearance at Finals Night – the player had informed FG that he had sent an email to the League before the Finals advising that he would not be attending.  No copies of the email were available.  After discussion with some members of the Committee FG had accepted the explanation and agreed to accept his registration to the League for the new season.

 

c)      Handicap calculation automation – this has not progressed but was still a possibility.  Ken Crimes has calculated the handicaps for the Dwyer Cup manually.

d)     Email software cost-sharing with Bolton – still waiting for a decision by Bolton but it seems likely that they will work independently as they have created a new website.

 

e)      2013 Championships – these have been booked for March 24, 2013.

 

f)       Unapproved rubbers – KB had contacted the player concerned and circulated details of the conversation to the Committee.   .  After discussion it was agreed that KB will formally advise him that he could not continue to use unapproved rubbers.
