FIRST POST NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER 2010

PRESENTATION NIGHT
As you are aware the theme for the Presentation Night is Pink, as October is Cancer Awareness month.
There will be collection points available for any surplus clothes, shoes, bric a brac etc you may have. This can be brought along on the night. Also collection boxes will be available around the room for any loose change you may have.
Can all teams please supply a raffle prize either let one of the Committee have this or bring along on the night.
Tickets are available from Jan at the Nelson, £5.00, please buy these as soon as possible from Jan Tel: 07999 655550.
AGM
The AGM will be held on Wednesday 17 November 2010 at 7 30 pm in the Nelson.
Proposal for rule/constitution change are as follows:
1. No half rounder rule/ Get rid of 36 balls
2. Revert to 30 good balls
3. Semi finals of the cup to be played on a Thursday evening, final to be played on a Sunday afternoon.
4. Proposed that the game is ended after a winning innings is completed. The rounders scored will only be counted from the first innings.
5. It is proposed that the Constitution be changed regarding Committee Members. Committee Members who miss 3 consecutive meetings are automatically removed from the Committee unless they can justify their absence.
6. It is proposed that Division 1 and 2 discontinue with the 36 ball rule and revert to the old rules and Division 3 keep the 36 ball rule.
7. It is proposed that the League membership fee is increased to £50.00 per team, as this would give the League a good start to the season, especially when the commitment to tournaments and other social events is poor.

Several other proposals/suggestions were put forward but they were not a rule change.
These suggestions will be addressed at the AGM.
If you want to voice your opinion on these changes, then you must attend the meeting. Proxy votes will be accepted, but only up until Tuesday 16 November. These must be in writing. Any others after this date will not be accepted.
200 Club
The draw for the 200 Club for September was as follows:

£50.00 Ticket 188 Nicola Faulkner
£25.00 Ticket 7 Mrs I Marlow
£15.00 Ticket 111 Louise Morris
£10.00 Ticket 30 Kate Varnsverry

FIRST POST NEWSLETTER JULY 2010

FIRST POST NEWSLETTER
Dear Captains,
Well we are now about half way through the season and the weather has been good to us. Please take note of the forthcoming events and make sure that you forward the information on to your players or even better print this sheet off and hand it round to them.

QUIZ NIGHT
There will be a Quiz Night on Thursday 22nd July – You may already have received a “Flyer” about this, but as a reminder it starts at 7.30pm at The Nelson (top room). Teams of up to 4 players £3 per head including snacks. Please contact Jan if you wish to enter a team. The League needs you to support it, so please do your best to attend. Friends are invited (You don’t have to be a Rounders player to be part of a team). Also Raffle prizes would be very much appreciated. Thankyou!

MIXED TOURNAMENT
We are hoping to hold this on Saturday 7th August at Husbands Bosworth ground. More information and entry forms to follow. Please put this date in your calendar.

UMPIRING
Just a few comments to make on Umpiring – Please note that if a player steps into a ball it is NOT a no-ball. If a player tries to backhand a ball down the line and they miss it, very often the ball will hit them. This is classed as walking into a ball in the same way as stepping into a ball in the normal way.
Also please take note that you shouldn’t call “Backward Hit” until the ball has actually landed!!

PITCHES
Please can everyone that doesn’t have their ground at the Leisure Centre make sure that their pitch is marked to the correct dimensions as some of the teams have noticed that some pitches are being marked incorrectly. Make sure that the batting and bowling squares in particular are large enough. Also if there is an obstructed area behind the backward area (eg close to gate or hedge) make sure that both Captains agree with the Umpires to make this a VOID ball if it goes behind and is missed by the batsman.

AGM
I know that it seems quite a long way off to this event, but any Proposals for Rule changes or constitution changes need to be given into the Committee before September 1st. Any proposals after this date will not be considered so start getting your thinking caps on. However please don’t propose any changes for the sake of it – we need to improve where we can but not change what is working. Thanks!

FIRST POST NEWSLETTER MAY 2010

Well here we are at the beginning of another Rounders Season and most of you will have already started playing.

CLOSED TOURNAMENT
Thanks to all who entered the Closed Tournament which was won by HB Ladies. It was most successful, and the weather was fab. A special thanks to all those who helped with all the organising and helping on the day – from making food, serving food, marking pitches donating raffle prizes, umpiring and everything else that made it a success.

REGISTRATION
You should now have received all the documentation you require. Please could you add the extra 6 balls onto the score sheet before each match starts. Will all Captains please register any new players through Jan and not Ness. Jan will then email you with the new number. You still have to pay Ness however. Spare numbers can be bought at any time but please remember that Jan needs the Player’s details prior to them being used. Also please be aware that you cannot use a number allocated to a registered player for anyone else even if that number hasn’t been used. (The League have already paid the money for that number to the NRA).

200 CLUB
Please, please try to sell your 200 Club tickets as soon as possible. The ticket stubs and money have to be given into Louise by June 3rd at the latest. Don’t miss out!!!!! The prizes are good and will be drawn once a month on the dates specified on the tickets. The Committee are working hard to raise money for the League so that we can keep costs down on future seasons – so we need your help too to achieve this. Please note that the last draw (the big one) will be drawn on Presentation Night 29th Oct and not on 30th as stated on the ticket. For any of you not aware the person who sells the most tickets will win a new aluminium rounders bat.

RULES
When playing in any cup match please note that we play 30 good balls – 2 innings and not 36 as in league matches. Also although all matches are at The Leisure Centre it is the Home Captain (First named on the fixture) who should provide posts, ball etc.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Congratulations to Yolanda on the birth of her little girl Izzy. – Welcome back Yo!
(If you have any announcements to make or anything you would like to be included in the forthcoming Newsletters please email me with the information).

FORTHCOMING EVENTS
We will be holding a QUIZ at The Nelson on Thurs 22nd July so put this in your diary now. Teams of 4 £3 per player. If you wish to enter please contact Pam Sutton or Jess Bulley (contact nos. In handbook). Also we are hoping to organise a Mixed Tournament again this year provisional date Sun 8th August – venue still to be arranged.

Pre-season Meeting
The Nelson
Market Harborough
Wednesday 24.02.2010 at 7.30pm

You are invited to attend this year’s meeting, details as above to register for the much anticipated 2010 season. It is mandatory that one player needs to register their team. However we will be running an Umpire/Rules evening at the same time and therefore it would be a good idea to inform your members of this date and send along as many team members as you can – especially the ones’ who will be umpiring.
Please complete and bring along the registration slip on the 24th along with £25 team registration fee and also £10 deposit if you would like to enter the Pre-season Tournament which will be sometime in April. More details later.

We request an email address for each team – This will enable us to keep you in touch with what’s going on throughout the season.

Thanks
Min Curtis (Secretary)
