Chairman:	S.Eely
Vice Chairman:	D Simmons
Hon.Sec & Treasurer: J Tidy

It was decided that the Committee should be re-elected en-bloc. This was proposed by Brian Marten, seconded by Brian Goodchild and the vote was carried
RULE AMENDMENTS,
RULE 8 ANNUAL LEAGUE AND OTHER FEES (Proposed by the League Secretary and seconded by the Committee)
Although the Bank balance is quite healthy at the moment, there may be fewer teams for next season. If there are fewer teams the following increases are proposed by the Treasurer and the committee. It is estimated that each player will spend an extra £2.00 to £3.00 during the season, but an extra £80.00 will be raised for the league
League entry fee to be increased by £5.00 to £40.00 per team
Individual competition entries to be raised by 50p to £1.50 per player per competition
Entry to Finals Night to be increased by 50p to £2.50
This was passed by a show of hands, but if the number of teams remained at ten, these increases would not be actioned until there were fewer teams
RULE 29 PLAYER SHORT RULE
(Proposed by the League Secretary and seconded by the Committee)
Currently this rule is too complicated with a different ruling for Home and Away teams and so the following is proposed
Whoever is drawn to play the first game, will play the extra game
This removes the need of a rota of players, obviously if the player drawn to play first wishes to leave early, the two captains can come to some other arrangement. The penalties of away players and Team Cup players losing the break remains the same
This amendment was passed by a show of hands
RULE 40 BEST PERFORMANCE AWARDS (Proposed by Lee Cable and seconded by Dick Cable of Roffey SSC)
Currently if two players have the same number of wins, and have both played 80% of the matches the winner of the award is decided by the highest average for AWAY matches only
It is proposed that this criteria should be for all matches instead of only away matches
After discussion, this amendment was REJECTED by a show of hands and so the rule remains the same, AWAY matches only
ANY OTHER BUSINESS.
Number of Teams in the League
A discussion was held and The Limeburners and the two Stout House teams were entering the league but due to the changes of landlords they may have to change venues during the season
Springbok Club is also entering the league although they are short of players
The only doubt is Alfold SC who only had 4 players during most of last season
8 TEAM LEAGUE FORMAT
If the number of teams was reduced to eight, the Committee will decide the format of the league for the season
OPTION 1 After playing all the other teams home and away, extra home and away matches will be played only against teams in the same division. This will mean an extra 6 matches, bringing the total league matches to 20, plus at least two Team Cup Matches
OPTION 2 An extra round of matches between all the teams to takes place, which will mean 21 league matches plus at least 2 Team Cup matches
Two offset the advantage of being the away team with the break, for these matches only the home team will have the opening break in games two and four
NEW TEAMS
There was also a good discussion on the venues that have a table but do not currently have a team
The Secretary and the Chairman asked everybody that if they are in a venue with a table, enquire as to whether there is any interest in having a league team
If there is interest contact either the chairman or league secretary who will then take the matter forward
The secretary emphasised that it is the responsibility of all players to try and generate interest, so that the league will flourish in the future
Meeting closed 9.15pm approx
