JANUARY 2016 MEETING

At the January 2016 meeting, the proposal for 8 man teams in the evening league was defeated.

Due to the defeated proposal above, in circumstances that teams find themselves short of players on match nights, teams to be allowed to play ladies to make up the team was passed unanimously.

There is now NO EXCUSE for any fixture to be cancelled, please DO NOT ASK as refusal can often offend.
