MONDAY 16th AUGUST

In order to avoid the problem of teams being withdrawn for lack of players as soon as we have generated the fixtures and to put back the date when clubs have to confirm their teams, we have changed the system.
We have also removed the financial penalty for not registering enough players.
However, this season - teams that have not submitted a minimum of eleven player registrations by Aug 16th will not be included in the fixtures. Even so, there will be an enormous amount of work for the Registration Secretaries before the first game of the new season on Sept 12th.
You can take your registrations to one of the meetings on Aug 10th and 11th. You can post to Allan Watt (13-18) or Kath Metcalfe (11-12) or you can hand deliver to Mike Breeze (Secretary) for passing on. This last arrangement is a temporary arrangement until the meeting.

have two dates now. Tuesday August 10th at Eccleshill United and Wednesday August 11th at Queensbury Celtic. Both starting at 7pm till about 9pm or earlier if we get the business done.
