Fixtures: In response to a question from Walkden C.C. the Secretary replied that with all the other factors that had to be taken into consideration it was no longer feasible to ensure Sunday fixtures were divided equally between clubs. The Committee approved the fixtures.

The first match of the season will commence on Sunday 23^rd April. This is shown on the fixture list, but a small number of sheets headed “Sunday Fixtures 2006” may have shown this as a free date.

The Co-Opted members were then elected to the Sub-Committees at the January meeting.

Date of Next Meeting: 30^th January.
