AGM 2010 Proposals

Hi everyone,

Below is the proposals that have been received for discussion at the AGM which will take place on Monday 9th August 2010 at The Radcliffe RBL, Main Road, Radcliffe on Trent. starting at 8:00pm. You can also download a copy of the details.

May I also remind you all that we are still looking for a Treasurer due to the resignation of John Wragg, anyone wishing to be considered should attend the AGM.


1) Changing minimum number of players required to 6
As an increasing number of teams are struggling to have the minimum 8 players present at a match, I suggest the minimum requirement of a team is changed to 6 players. I also think this will help in the pursuit of gaining new teams into the league.

To allow this change I propose the following options to change the formats of play for both darts and dominoes:-

Darts
a) Change to 3 Pairs and 6 Singles or
b) 3 Pairs and 4 Singles

Dominoes
a) Keep at 5 Pairs, but playing 3 long games (61 holes) and 2 short games (31 holes), a player can play both long and short games or
b) Change to 3 Pairs

These changes also give greater scope for more people playing more games on an evening, even if you have a bigger team. The shorter dominoes legs are ideal for new players to learn the game and it gives dominoes players the chance to play more games also.

2) Increasing entrance fees to competitions and registration fees by 50p
Therefore fees will be as follows:
Registration Fee - £2.50 per player
Player Transfer Fee - £2.50 per player
Annual Competitions - £1.50 per player per competition

3) Change to Brian Widdowson Bowl competition
To limit the number of spare weeks for teams I think this should be played annually at the Radcliffe RBL. Format to revert back to best of 3 legs and all teams in the league will be involved on the night with numerous boards set up in the legion. Depending on the number of teams in the league this should be played over 1 or 2 league nights. With the current number of teams involved I think this could be played down to a winner on one night.

4) Changing rule 2e about meetings to the following...
A minimum of 4 secretaries meetings will be held each season and all teams will be required to send a representative. The dates of these meetings will be set out in the fixture schedule literature given out at the start of a season.

5) Changing rule 1h about trophies
The league to supply 8 trophies to teams who have won titles instead of 10. If clubs require more trophies they should state this as soon as they have won something.
