Retford Liberal Club has withdrawn from the league with immediate effect

This happend some time ago a Breakers team pulled out of the league with a few matches to play.

 

The committee at the time decided that because they had played everybody once those points would stand.

the rest of the matches would be void and any team that had played them would lose any point gained.those teams that hadn't play them would then have played the same number of matches.

Retford Liberal had only played upto week 7 so all points gained will be lost

The handicaps would not be changed and would stay as were on the week they pulled out

All players of that team would be pulled out of the comps with immediate effect any anyone who had drawn them to go through to the next round weather they had won or lost.


This is what the committee decided was fair in the circumstances

any thing else would be setting a precedence

So these decisions stand by order of the current committee

Proposals by Barry Godley

1.      The donation from the league to the host club of the presentation night should be put up to at least £300 due to rising costs of the buffet and the cost of entertainment    agreed

2. Could the date for presentation night be set asap no later than the start of the new year to give the host club the best chance of sorting out entertainment  set the date Sat 8th June agreed

3.        I would like to propose that the cost of entering the league to be set at £20 per team this would cover the extra fund donation to the host club on presentation night or make every team in the league pay for £10 worth of raffle tickets  Agreed to set team registration at £20 plus £2 captains cup

4.         I would also like teams to donate a raffle prize for the presentation night it’s not a lot to ask   against

Is it possible to move the A.G.M. back to a weekday evening as you keep says it’s a

   midweek league so any meetings should be midweek that’s my opinion anyway defeated

6. Could fixtures be mixed up a bit more for the forthcoming season as we seem to be playing all away games in one half of the season and all home games the other half    luck of the draw

 

Treasurers report

                     Before I go through the balance sheet, I have a problem with the banking. Barclays bank is closing in Worksop on the 24th August, I can no longer pay or withdraw money. We need to change banks BUT no one now takes club accounts. I can open a personal account in my name but not W S L  as there is only my name on the current account. I am willing to sign an affidavit to the affect that any new account is the snooker leagues money should anything happen to me. Any other ideas please. Since then I have spend over 3 hours this week trying to get a bank card. With the help of Tom the advisor at the bank the business team wanted to know 3 things then if I apply I should be sent a card which will allow me to access the account 

The balance sheet as you can see gives more to the comps no third place as voted at last years AGM

Any prizes not collected will be put them back into league funds  All prizes collected

It was passed at this meeting to only pay first two in each division

Also no prize money for High Break and Player of the year only trophies

Any Extra money to go to leagues 1st and 2nd
