The Minutes: of the meeting of 6 April 2022 were amended. AWFC had an outstanding fine of

£50, but this was incorrect, they have no fines, and never have had.

The expenditure under Treasurer’s report was incorrect, Trophies at £1,223 should have been included.

Matters Arising:

Prestwood had queried their fine for no teamsheet in the West Herts Cup, the fine of £30 stands, rule 23.

Correspondence:

Aylesbury Vikings will be withdrawing from the league next season. They have a player who owes money and have been advised to contact Berks and Bucks about this.

Hale Leys will also be withdrawing from the league next season.

Berks and Bucks have reminded the league that a DBS check is necessary for teams with under 18 players.

Berks and Bucks have sent out their proposed amendments to the rules, these have been passed to the clubs.

ADFL have also sent their proposed rule amendments to clubs, together with next season’s forms.

Robin Woolman has died, he was the go-to person concerning rules at Berks and Bucks. We are waiting to hear from B& B who we should contact with our condolences.

The minimum requirements for an ADL football match especially mid-week are one chang-ing room and one toilet.

If a team wish to appeal a fine, they have seven days from the production of the minutes in which to do so. The minutes are almost always sent out on the Monday following a meet-ing, and any queries concerning the content should be sent to the Secretary.

Aylesbury Town Council want a meeting with Peter and Tony concerning local pitches.

Following queries about teams folding mid season, the rule is that if they have played less than 75% of their games all results will be expunged, however, after 75% the remaining fix-tures need to be accounted for, or different teams will have played different numbers of games. Adopting the same principal as a club failing to fulfil a fixture the points are awarded to the opposition, with a 0-0 score.

AVD Sports played someone who was not registered with them in their game against Stoke Mandeville on Saturday 9 March. Game awarded to Stoke Mandeville AVD Sports £50 fine rule. 18O

The Inter-league cup final was due to be held on Tuesday 10 May, however one of the semi-finals was abandoned, so the final has been put on hold.
