Proposals for discussion at AGM, 29th June 2009


· Proposed by Paul Rayner, Treasurer

Association Rule 6d (page 9 in current handbook):
Amend first part of third sentence to ’All Officials of the Association will be entitled to record one vote, they being included in the member club’s delegated voting power.’ CARRIED

Association Rule 7d (same page): Remove the words ‘and Veterans’ from this rule. CARRIED

Open Snooker League Supplementary Rule 6 (page 34):
Amend to ‘The league will consist of multiple sections, entry numbers will determine the format. Promotion and relegation will operate.’ CARRIED

· Proposed by Neil Wimpenny (also recorded in minutes of October meeting, when was seconded by Derek Hey of the Police SC)

That anyone who is a registered player for snooker or billiards at two different clubs should be allowed to sign the attendance book for both, and also vote for both on any issues raised, at the monthly meetings. NB This right to apply to two clubs only, i.e. if a player is registered with more than two clubs they can still only sign/vote for two.

· Proposed by Peter Atkinson and Brian Keenan, Kirkburton Liberal Club

Association Rule 7b (page 9):
Amend first part to’ All clubs must be represented at ONE of the three meetings before Christmas and ONE meeting in the New Year after Christmas.’ Second part (‘Failure …’) to remain the same.

· Proposed by Robert Read, Lindley WMC

Snooker & Billiards League Rules 1a-d (page 17):
Amendment: That newly registered (i.e. unseasoned) players should have their handicaps reviewed after every 6 games for their first 24 games only (not 3 seasons).

· From minutes of January meeting

Re handicapping of new players – should clubs be penalised for allowing someone to play off 21 when this is clearly not appropriate? It is currently the responsibility of the team captain to advise the committee if a higher or lower handicap should be used, however this is not covered in the rules at present. Should a rule be devised for inclusion in the handbook?

· From minutes of March meeting

Issue raised by Turnbridge WMC regarding venue for meetings: this needs reconsidering. The feeling was that Golcar RBL is not ideal, being some way out of town – especially for non-drivers, some of whom have to make two bus trips each way to attend meetings there – and that a more central venue needed to be found. Also, the time of the meetings to be considered, as it was pointed out that some of the older players don’t like coming out in the evening, especially in bad weather.


Election of Officers

On another note should anyone wish to place an advert in this coming seasons handbook please contact Pul Rayner on 01484-348218 or paulrayner@ntlworld.com

Peter Gilbert has now got the Roll of Honour on the website, I apologise for the odd "hiccup", I must have given Peter some incorrect information which will be remedied as quickly as possible. However, if you can help fill in the gaps please contact Paul Rayner in the first instance and he will then advise me to update once he has been able to verify the information.

I don't know if anyone can help Paul Rayner in his quest for compiling the record books for posterity, but, he is missing the following year books, anybody got them put away "safe" in an old desk or shed:-

All pre 1953-54 ( If they exist?)
1955-56
All year books between 1964-1974
1984-1985
