Annual General Meeting (AGM) – 29th October 2024

We have received 3 new application and planned meetings have been arranged for next week. If all three application are successful we will have 40 members clubs in total for season 2025 and achieved our 5 year strategy as planned back in 2020.

The league held its AGM and member clubs discussed the proposal put forward by 10 clubs.

Some of the proposals did not receive the support of a 2nd club and therefore the proposal was not considered by the member clubs and is not included in the list below.

If the majority of league games are called off due to weather in a season, all league games should be abandoned, even if a few teams are still willing to play. By abandoning all games when the majority are affected, we ensure fairness and maintain the league’s integrity. This approach levels the playing field for all teams, preventing any unfair advantages due to unpredictable circumstances. It’s crucial for the end of the season that the deserving winners emerge based on merit, not because they played a game while others faced cancellations Red Cross
