Robert Shore questioned a minor detail and eventually proposed that the balance sheet should be accepted, this was seconded by Dave Oaks and all were in favour.                                    SECRETARY'S REPORT:  Our secretary Ian Affleck spoke at length about how well the league has gone and his anticipation on how                    the league will progress for the forthcoming season, which will start on the 16th of October.                             NEW TEAMS: Four new teams were up for the floor to debate: Sydney Arms, Duke A, White Lion A and White Lion B. After the teams' representatives left the room the meeting's attendees discussed at length the pros and cons with letting the new teams into the league.                                    The teams' representatives were invited back into the room and were congratulated with the confirmation on            the floor accepting them all into the league.                                    A unanamous vote in favour of two teams promoted and no teams relegated meant that the forthcoming league will consist of 13 teams in each division.                                    DISCUSSION OF PROPOSALS: After a lengthy discussion it was decided by a majority vote that the league will scrap handing in result sheets in favour of posting on the league's official Facebook page before midnight on the Monday following the games. It was agreed that the captain of the winning team is responcible for getting the photo of the sheet onto Facebook and he or she should also be responcible for keeping the winning sheets until the end of the season in-case of any problems whereby the committee need to inspect the a sheet. It was also mentioned by Rich Rhodes from the Flying Lady A, that it wasn't good enough to move forward with the secretary only updating the interactive website on the Thursday following the games.  Monday at midnight when the sheets need to be posted on Facebook seems more reasonable. The meeting closed at 9:56pm.                                    ___________________________________________________________________ SUMMER LEAGUE 2016 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING MINUTES                                    WEDNESDAY THE 16TH OF MARCH 2016                                    AT THE KINGS ARMS                                     The meeting started a 8:35pm                                    In attendance were committee members: Steve Abbott, Dave Preece, Ian Affleck and Graham Sands.                                    In addition there were representatives from from the following teams:                                    Dishers C, Capt Webb A, Kings A, Broughton A, Dishers Longshots, Flying Lady B, Kings B, Flying Lady A,                                    Hop Pole A, Kings C, Capt Webb B, Grand Junction, West End Band A and West End Band B.                                    Also representatives from new teams: Shavington Club, Imperial and Duke of Rileys.                                    Apologies:                                    Graham Wood - our chairman - was unable to attend due to work..                                    CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:                                    In our chairperson's absence, vice-chairperson Graham Sands read out the report previously prepared by                Graham Wood.                                    PRESENTATION OF WINTER LEAGUE WINNERS:                                    Dave Preece (Dishers C) accepted Dishers C's winning prize money and trophy for his team's Division One                success.                                    A representative from the Kings Arms received prize money for Kings D's runners-up success.                                    Lyndsey Roberts (Owner of Dishers) accepted Dishers A's third place prize money.                                    Matt Greensmith (Hop Pole B) accepted his teams winning prize money and trophy for his team's Division Two win.   Richard Rhodes (Lady A) received his team's prize money, finally, Graham Sands claimed Hop Pole A's prize money for their third place finish in Division Two.                                    FINANCIAL REPORT SUMMER 2015:                                    Graham Sand's went through outgoing treasurer Shaun Baker's balance sheet and asked if the floor was                    happy and /or had any questions; the floor were happy and the meeting continued.                                    SECRETARY'S REPORT:  Our secretary Ian Affleck spoke at length about how well the league has gone and his anticipation on how                    the league will progress for the forthcoming season.                                    NEW TEAMS: Three new teams were up for the floor to debate: Shavington Club, the Imperial and a team previously in our            league - Duke of Rileys.                                    After the teams' representatives left the room the meeting's attendees discussed at length the pros and cons with letting the new teams in, it was also confirmed that due to the Bridge not attending the meeting they had no right to join the league.                                    The teams' representatives were invited back into the room and were congratulated with the confirmation on            the floor accepting them all into the league.                                    A vote of 12 in favour and 2 against the league numbers being split 11/12 between Division One and Two.                                    DISCUSSION OF THE LEAGUE CONSTITUTION: Nothing too serious or important was raised and the new constitution was fairly widely accepted with the                    amendment and editing of three of four minor points. including: doubles games rules; fines; Facebook and                one or two minor wording matters, including the landlords' tenure rule (where a unanimouse vote went in                    favour of slightly relaxing the rule and judging each case separately.                                    The meeting closed at just after 9:30pm.                                    Thank you for all who attended, this was one of the best attended meetings we have had.
