Press/Results Secretary’s Report:
There are still very few reports being received.
Any Other Business.
The AGM will be held on 26 June and the SGM on 31 July, both at Rivets Sports and Social Club. We would like to remind you that we need one representative per team, not per club. Despite several reminders last season three clubs still received fines for not adhering to this rule.
We have been informed by Matt Brill that Ron Rawlings has passed away. He was an ADL referee, also a massive contributor to youth football in Aylesbury. Our condolences go to his family.
Well done to St Leonard’s for stepping in and providing a pitch when needed at short notice.
The meeting closed at 9.00 p.m. The next meeting was arranged for 3 May 2023
