Chairman’s report. Rob Withington had no report except to say that he hoped the meeting would go well. Rob also asked if anyone would like to join the committee.

Treasurer’s report. Andy Kendrick reported that all deposits were in, and the bank balance stood at £1610.

Whilst discussing the accounts Andy asked if the handbooks were necessary or not, and the general consensus was that we would stop buying handbooks. Scorecards were also discussed and it was felt that we needed to retain some cards. It was suggested that teams could buy notebooks if they wished to keep records of their own matches. It was also discussed whether Telford Snooker League should pay affiliation to the West Midlands Snooker League. As Telford always struggle to put a team into the competition, it was decided that our league would pay the fee this year, and then approach teams within out league to pay for their own entries. It was also decided that we would take a more definite decision on this subject next season.

Secretaries report. None.

Competition Secretaries report. None.

Post. None.

Future planning. None at present.

A.O.B. Andy Kendrick had come up with a better format for this seasons’ league, which would give players more continuity throughout the season. Dave Dudley had asked Angus about handicaps this season. Angus replied that he would be looking at the handicaps, but didn’t think there would be much to change, even though we had less teams entered this season.

Meeting closed 830.
