3. Officers Reports.

a) Chairman’s Report

Chairman Mr Rob Withington said that he felt it had been a good year for the league with a high standard of snooker but that he hoped we could fill the 3 byes that we currently have. He thanked all those involved in the presentation evening, the league committee, all who had attended monthly meetings throughout the season (which was open to all members) and finally Mr Chris Hardy for his sponsorship of the league.

b) Secretary’s Report

Secretary Mr Alan Turner reported that there had been no major issues during the season and would like to thank the committee members and especially all those that had attended the meetings during the year which are held on the third Thursday of every month. The highlight of the season had been Bayley Z’s achievement by winning the Team Knockout Competition but also that the league had lost a true friend in Roy Francis.

c) Competition Secretary’s Report

Competition Secretary Mr Nigel Stallard reported that once again any disputes during the season had mainly been sorted out between players and that no major issues had arisen. There had been a couple of occasions where players had turned up for semi finals or finals and had not followed the new dress code. Because this was the first year this dress code had been in force there were no penalties incurred but that would not be the case this season and any player not adhering would be eliminated. Thanks went to all those who had helped out in any way in organising or refereeing during the season.

d) Treasurer’s Report

Treasurer Mr Andy Kendrick thanked incoming chairman Mr Rob Withington for his work during his first year in charge. Due to the 3 byes in the league there was a drop of around £800 in cue and competition fees but as the league had voted to reduce expenditure on the presentation evening that the prize fund only had to drop by £250. He also asked if there was anyone who was willing to sponsor the league.

Accounts presented and formally adopted by members.
