He also thanked Pat Webber and Terry Patch for all their support as committee members. Tony said our finals night went well and that the summer league was also running well. Tony asked if anyone had any complaints about the running or administration of the league and happily there were none.
5 Fixtures Secretary’s Report
Christine gave her report on fixtures, and thanked everyone for getting their result cards in on time. She said that there were 10 teams in the summer league and hoped that number would rise to 16 for the coming winter season. If this could be achieved the meeting recommended that there would be two divisions of eight, the new teams going into the second division. If this were to be the case all competitions, except the mixed pairs, would be divisional with the two finalists from each division going on to play each other at Finals Night
6 Treasurer’s Report
Christine’s treasurer’s report showed that the league maintained a healthy positive balance. The closing account for 22-23 showed we were in credit, bank and cash, in the sum of £3,550.68 and our balance for 23-24 showed £3,285.81, a small drop due to a rise in the cost of trophies and a delay in some summer teams not yet having paid.
7 Summer League
There were no issues with the Charity Summer League. The meeting decided to support four charities this year: Air Ambulance, MacMillan (cancer nurses), Clic Sergeant (children’s cancer), and Forget Me Not (dementia).
8 Honorariums
The meeting decided to leave the honorariums paid to the fixtures secretary and treasurer (£200) and the web editor, etc. (£100) the same as last year.
9 Amendments to Rules
There were no amendments to rules proposed.
10 Election of Offices and Committee
