Notes from an Annual General Meeting
The meeting remembered Keith Monk, Cliff Simmons and Ron Day
who had all died during the past season.
The financial accounts showed a loss of £720 due to teams being
lost before the start of the season.
The Officers' honoraria were reduced because of a reduction in
the formulae used.
Lance Ford resigned as President and Reece Lovell was elected
as President for the coming season.
The current Vice Presidents were all re-elected and Malcolm Day
was elected as a new Vice President for his services to the League in the
past.
Both Secretaries and the Treasurer were re-elected without any
other nominations.
It was reported that a new team, Nellies Heroes playing at St.
Johns would join the League thereby replacing Colts who had disbanded.
The meeting was unanimous that the League
should continue to be formatted in four divisions and after a vote it was
decided to ignore the Executive Committee's recommendation that the match fee
was increased to £7. Instead they fixed it at £6.
The sticker ups fee was to remain at a minimum of £12.
It was agreed to start a Duffers Cup for losers of the first
two rounds of the Perkins Cup and Steve James kindly offered to donate the
Cup.
There were no proposals to change rules or operation of the
League other than the above.
It was reported that Shepherds in the fourth division would be
playing at The Lamb, Worle on Mondays and The Queens had changed their name to
Bleadon Racers.
Here's to a successful season which will start on 7th
September. Fixture books will be available on 24th August.
