Apology for Absence was received from Timberland.\u00a0It was agreed that the League should be limited to 8\u00a0teams for its inaugural year and that teams would be\u00a0formed of 3 Rinks of 3 Players each with 2 Woods.\u00a0Woods within 6 feet of the jack to count. 2 points per\u00a0rink to be awarded and no aggregate points. In case of\u00a0rink tie, the points to be split- 21 ends to be played – 2\u00a0practice ends.\u00a0The Aims of the League are:-<\/strong>
\n
\n1. To provide match play for Club Members who for one\u00a0reason or another would not be playing in the\u00a0established leagues.
\n2. To provide these matches so that a minimum of\u00a0travelling would be involved.
\n3. Matches as far as possible should be played on\u00a0weekdays in the afternoon but this would not be a rigid rule and Club Secs. should
\nwork out their matchtimes to suit themselves. Matches\u00a0should, however, be played during the week as shown
\nin the fixture list – subject to weather conditions.\u00a0It is hoped that clubs will avoid playing their 1st team\u00a0players in any of the League matches.\u00a0It was agreed that for the 1st Year, the League Fees\u00a0would be #1 per team and as there would be no\u00a0registration of players, no registration fees would be\u00a0payable. Solvency of the League for the 1st Year would\u00a0be guaranteed by the 2 Founders of the League – Mr\u00a0Ron White and Mr Andy Stewart.\u00a0ELECTION OF OFFICERS -At this point, it was\u00a0proposed by Metheringham, that as Andy Stewart and\u00a0Ron White had formed the League, they\u00a0 should have\u00a0the honour of filling the posts of Secretary and\u00a0Chairman. This proposal was seconded by Horncastle
\nand carried unanimously.\u00a0Therefore Ron White becomes the League’s 1st\u00a0Chairman and Andy Stewart, the League’s 1st\u00a0Secretary.\u00a0One nomination was received for Vice-Chairman and\u00a0that was Mr Twells, who accepted. Jubilee Park
\nproposed Mr Stan Guy for Treasurer and he was duly\u00a0elected. One other Committee member was elected and\u00a0he is Mr Geof Wright.. For Meetings there will be a\u00a0quorum of 3.\u00a0It was then decided that the arranging of Fixtures should
\nbe left to the Secretary. Before the Meeting closed a\u00a0hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the 2 Founders
\nof the League – the Date of the next Meeting was fixed\u00a0for Monday 17th March, 1980 at the Gamecock.\u00a0The Meeting closed at 8.40p.m. Signed: R. White\u00a0Chairman Dated 17.3. 80
