Dear all,
just an update on the arrangements for the AGM
Venue Woolston Date Tuesday Jan 28th
Start 13:30 - note the change in start time.
The agenda will be as usual but there will be a delegates' vote on the proposals for the Divisional formats for next season.
Last season we had three divisions with 10, 10 and 11 teams. This meant that Division 3 had 4 more fixtures which had to be played on Wednesdays.
Many of the Division 3 teams were unhappy with this and indeed there was a motion proposed to ensure that there would be a change each season to move the 11 teams to another division so that the Wednesday fixtures would not be with the same division every season.
I have reviewed the fixtures for next season and have come up with two proposals both of which mean no Wednesday fixtures and a close to the season by the end of September.
I have attached two PDF's which detail the weekly fixtures to be played.
Proposal 0ne.
If there are 3 divisions then the two 10 team Divisions will have 18 fixtures and the 11 team Division will have 22 fixtures.
I have put 2 of the 22 fixtures on Bank Holidays- teams are able to re-arrange if they wish and they finish with 2 fixtures at the end of the season.
Proposal two.
4 Divisions of 8 teams - this will be 22 fixtures as with the 11 teams. 8 teams means 14 fixtures which is obviously too few. I have added weeks 1-7 again to make 21 fixtures. This means that 4 teams will have 1 more home fixture.
I have then added another fixture- number 22, to be played on neutral greens which ensures all teams have 11 home games.
Delegates will be asked to vote on which format will be used for next season.
We are also hopeful that we will be able to make a short presentation on our new web page.
I will be contacting Delegates again nearer the meeting time with an Agenda and Balance Sheet.
Any questions on the above please contact me.
COMMITTEE
Don't forget the meeting on Thursday 28th Nov 10am at John Healds.
