The minutes of the September meeting had not been circulated.
a) It was agreed that the Junior AGM would be held on Thursday, 18th November commencing at 7.45 pm at Astley Bridge Cricket Club.
b) Following a lengthy discussion on the proposed amendments to rule, it was agreed that these be submitted to Clubs for discussion and voted upon. Clubs were reminded that they have two votes at the AGM, but for votes to count the voting sheet attached must be signed by two Club Officials.
The meeting was reminded that for proposals to be accepted they must achieve two-thirds of votes cast at the AGM. The Chairman made the point that if Clubs wished to change a format, for example Under 17’s to Under 18’s, they should vote this way in sufficient numbers to make the change.
Farnworth Social Circle withdrew their proposal referring to Under 18’s cricket.

Following discussions it was agreed that the League’s Coaching Fund would be used to pay for the hire of the School Halls.
