There were no challenges to the Secretary nor any new proposals.
Concerns from the Administrator as to the absence of teams from two Clubs and it should be reminded to those absent is that the two events of the year, apart from the events, help funds to the Clubs awarded Presidency for the year. It is a requirement for all Clubs to attend.
The accounts were presented, now showing a surplus following a difficult financial period. Eight Clubs make all the difference and we welcome Mersey Valley GC to the League.
