The Minutes: of the meeting of 3rd August 2022 were agreed

Matters Arising:

Aylesbury Town Council see the ADL as part of the Community Stadium, which they are hoping to have built at some time in the future.

There are teams who have affiliated who are not yet showing up on Full-Time.

Some new teams are having a few problems with our procedures, it may be worth asking new teams at the SGM each year to stay behind for any questions they may have.

Correspondence:

There has been a message from Steph Clark at Berks and Bucks with general updates – this has been passed on to all clubs and committee.

The ADFL rules are about to go on to the website.

As Long Marston have withdrawn one team has asked to take their place in the President’s Cup. This is against the policy of the League, and the request has been refused.

There has been concern about the behaviour of Ludgershall reserves.

Treasurer’s Report:

Outstanding Fines – Rivets owe £10 league fees

Several Clubs did not have a representative for each team at the SGM, despite at least two emails sent to all clubs about this.

Aylesbury Hornets. Did not attend Fine £50 Rule 6h

Thame B, Covid this has not been accepted as an excuse since the beginning of 2022. Rule 6h . Fine £50.

Thame C Covid this has not been accepted as an excuse since the beginning of 2022. Rule 6h, Fine £50.

AWFC, Rivets, Stoke Mandeville, Wingrave. These 4 clubs only sent one representative for both their teams. Rule 6h Fine £50.

Registration Secretary’s Report:

Thame want to enter another team. On enquiry to Berks and Bucks their reply was as fol-lows. “The Management Committee shall have the power to fill any vacancy that may occur in the mem-bership of the Competition between the AGM or SGM called to decide the constitution and the commence-ment of the Playing Season.” The Committee therefore agreed to this.

They will be named Thame D and will be in the first division.

We currently have 20 players under the age of 18, Margaret will write to the teams involved to find out who is their Welfare Officer.

No player can take part in the league until they attain their 16th birthday.

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.

The Programme’s for the finals are o.k., but the named team on the back of the programme must be limited to 16. Other team members who are not playing can be added to the inside of the programme.

We need so get sponsors for next year’s finals.

Trophies: clubs are reminded of Rule 13 c trophies to be returned to the League at the AGM for re-presenting at the pre-season meeting.

The proposed rule changes suggested by the sub-committee were put to the committee, Tony will draw them up to be sent out to Berks and Bucks FA, and when confirmed sent to clubs before the AGM.

Bearing in mind the present attitude about Good Friday being a Bank Holiday, it was questioned whether it was still appropriate to hold the Thomas Field Shield Final on that day in future years.

Application forms for 2022/2023 are to be sent out towards the end of April, including to several new teams.
