The Minutes: of the meeting of 5 July 2023 were agreed, but the date of the next meeting wasIncorrect.
Matters Arising:
Potten End, Toqeer Titans and Thame B did not attend the SGM. £50 fine rule 30
Correspondence:
Buckinghamshire Council have been contacted about their pitches and changing rooms, since then we have received information about other people within the Council to contact.
Rod Noble of Berks and Bucks is to attend the September meeting, and we have already informed him of the pitch problems, so we will pass the information on to him, in the hope that he will be able to have more power to influence the Council.
Berks and Bucks have issued a notice about points deductions for teams that have behav-iour problems. This has already been sent to the clubs.
Registration Secretary’s Report:
4 teams have so far done nothing about registering their players:-
Potten End
St Leonards
Wingrave
Each fined £25 rule 2G (1)
There is a deadline of 31 August for all teams to have 14 players registered, in order to com-mence the season.
Fixtures Secretary’s Report
No fixtures can be arranged until all the teams have been affiliated.
There was a complaint made that there may not be enough fixtures, with reserve teams be-ing unable to enter some of the cups. A suggestion was made that for the reserve cup there could be two divisions, each playing a round robin, with the winners and runners-up of each division playing each other.
The Sheffield Jackman Cup is for first teams only, and will remain that way.
Referees Secretary’s Report:
Kevin is still in need of referees. Berks and Bucks have promised to create more referee courses for the coming year, again Rob Noble will be questioned about this in September.
Press/Results Secretary’s Report:
Clubs are reminded of the extension of the FullTime teamsheet to now include
· players who started
· Players who started as substitutes
· Players who came on and went off
· Goal scorers and the minutes scored
· Yellow and red cards
These need completing by the 6pm deadline a Monday after a game.
