Fines etc
Ramsbottom B were
appealing against two fines. No grounds
had been given and the appeals were outside the time limit. KC will inform them that the appeals had been
rejected.

reasons unconnected with the fines). No
fines or suspensions will be enforced.

BAe
This team had lost its premises
immediately after the start of the season.
It had been agreed that they would play just their away fixtures but not
for double points.
4 Handicap Cups
The Dwyer draw is on the website.
The
handicaps are initially based on last season’s results, with a review to be
made at Christmas.
All
teams should submit detailed scorecards so the results can be analysed to see
the effects of the handicapping.
GW
and KW volunteered to help KC with the handicapping.
5 Closed Championships
The date had been set as 27 March

7 Sponsor

8 Subs and Fees
Payments were coming in okay. Little advertising income had yet been
received.
9 L&CTTL
KB agreed to get GJ’s explanation of
what had happened and also a copy of the relevant rules.
10 Website maintenance
KC was doing this – KB would assist
if required, after training from SK.
11 Awarded Matched
BGSOB B had no players available
because of holidays or work. 3 wins
would be awarded to each player in Holmar D but the match score had yet to be
decided.
12 Late payment of subs
Fines
would be levied subject to the usual discretion.
13 Email addresses
KB explained that a complaint had
been received about the abuse of League members’ email addresses. The way that mass mailings to players were
done meant that all addresses were visible to all recipients. A couple of individuals had then circulated
their own emails to League players.
The complaint had been passed on to
these two and in future a different circulation method would be used to avoid a
repetition.
14
Lee had told KB that he was
considering leaving the Committee. KB
will follow this up.
15 Maccabi
AW reported that the outside
shutters had been lowered at Maccabi while matches were still in progress. This appeared to render emergency exits
unusable. EF agreed to investigate.
16 Individual Membership
KB noted that in view of the
problems individuals had had in registering with the ETTA he would extend the
deadline for submitting returns to him.
