Matters
Arising : The Minute Secretary
apologised for some Club Reps not receiving their February minutes , these had
been e-mailed to Senior Reps and should have been posted to all Junior Reps .
Copies were distributed to all Reps on the night .
The
Under 13's Knockout Cup Competition is on 3rd June 2004 and not 4th
June , as is shown in the League Handbook .
Heaton
CC received a Bye in the Under 18's Knockout Cup Competition , although this may
not be shown in the League Handbook .
Clubs
were reminded that for the 2004 Season it is the responsibility of HOME Clubs to
telephone the result of their matches to the relevant Age Level Administrators
immediately after the match , and the HOME Club must also ensure completion and
posting of the Match Card .
It
was noted that some Clubs may have more Home matches than Away matches this
season . The Chairman regretted that it was simply impossible to achieve an even
split across all Clubs .
Age
Level Updates : The Chairman
pointed out that this topic would be a regular item on future Agendas commencing
April 2004 . It would provide an opportunity for each Section Administrator to
update Members concerning the progress/queries at each Age Level and for Clubs
to raise any matters with the appropriate Administrator .
Inter
League : Geoff Diggle confirmed
our entry in the Peak Sports Tournament and informed Clubs that he would be
seeking the use of a Bolton League Ground -
Clubs were asked to "volunteer" at the next meeting . The Chairman
informed Geoff that other matters on the day ( Teas and Cost ) would be set by
the Senior Committee .
Discussions
had been attempted with the Bolton Association concerning the Teddy Gerrard
Trophy . It was agreed that the Minute Secretary would write to the Association
.
Coaching

with his meetings with Coaches etc and an update would be provided at the next

Finance
: The Chairman reported that most Clubs had now paid their Coaching
Subscription and reminded others to do so .
Junior
Rep : The Junior Section were entitled under the League Rules to appoint a
Representative who could attend and vote at Senior Meetings on behalf of the
Junior Section . 2 Nominations were received and after a vote
- Geoff Diggle was appointed

Child
Protection : Clubs were asked to invite their Child Welfare Officer to our
next Junior Meeting on 15th April , as the Leagues appointed Welfare
Officers ( John Hutchinson & Ray Taylor ) wished to make a short
presentation to all Clubs .
Please
Note That Although The Above Is A Minute From Our March Meeting
