Summer Season starts 6th May….

By on 28th February 2015 in Newsletter

Icon6MayRegistration night has been and gone and we’re now looking forward to the first match on 6th May.

The sequence of events to get to the first match is……

  1. Registration night – teams sign on and pay their subs.
  2. Each teams’ average is calculated from previous top 8 player averages.
  3. A provisional section list is produced.
  4. A committee meeting is held to validate the provisional list ensuring section winners get promoted etc.
  5. Handicaps are given (generally to the Premier/A sections) to average out the doll difference in the highest performing teams.
  6. Fixture list is prepared, proofed and then printed and PDF’d (for the website).
  7. Teams and players are entered into the scoring systems (both online and offline this year).
  8. Fixture packs are prepared and delivered to the venues (by hand by willing volunteers – thank you).
  9. First game 6th May 8.15 for 8.30 start!

This year both scorecard and online score entry is mandatory (as per AGM vote). The winning team is responsible for posting the card AND entering the scorecard online. You will need to use the username/password which you either had at the AGM or will be provided in the fixture pack once the sections are decided. Any problems get in touch by email to chairman or webmaster @abingdonauntsally.com and we’ll do our best. Don’t panic about the online entry we have videos showing how easy it is and we are making it easier too.

It’s wise to take a photo of the card with your smartphone so you can check the scores or in case the scorecard is lost in the post.

Important – please update your email address when you get your login details so you can get emailed details like this post !

2015 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

By on 9th February 2015 in Committee Meetings, Newsletter

The 2015 AGM at  started at 8 p.m at Abingdon United FC on the 26th January 2015.

Chairman James Barguss opened the meeting with apologies received from C.Brind and J.Simmons.

The team register showed 15 teams in attendance. P.Sowden/B.Clapton agreed/seconded the minutes of the previous meeting.

Reports:

With the sad news of the death of Martin Sheridan (the day before) adding to the great loss of Graham Barguss (ex-Chairman) in 2014 a minutes silence was held and the Chairman speech was foregone.

Treasurer’s report was received and agreed by T.Downes/K.Buckle

Motions:

A motion was received that proposed by P.Stone/T.Woolloff that the Singles Final be played over 5 legs instead of 3. This was defeated 9-6. No other motions were received.

Suggestions:

An under 35s competition was suggested by last years youngest singles champion Scott Humphreys. Various issues were talked about including the funding of trophies and in the end we all thought it was a waste of time.

Brian Adams also suggested consideration of lowering the team size and number of players signed on. After discussion it was viewed this wasn’t necessary this year due to a buoyant league.

Terry Downes drew attention to rule 16 which states that the Caller should be from the home team. It says nothing about the other sticker up which could if agreed come from the away team. This would allow more home players to interact with their teammates. As this does not require a rule change it can be done any time if teams think its a good idea.

Finally a vote on the implementation of the online match card system was taken with a vote of 10-1 ??? in favour of using it this 2015 season. In addition match cards will be filled in as usual and sent to the Secretary for backup.

Election of Officers:

Officers volunteered to stay another term and were block voted in.

Meeting ended at 8.50pm.
