FIRST POST NEWSLETTER MAY 2011
The season is now well under way and although there have been a few hiccups at the beginning we hope you all have an enjoyable season and good weather to go with it. One of the main grumbles has been the late arrival of the Handbooks. This was mostly due to Lutterworth dropping out of the League at such short notice. The fixtures had to be re-arranged which put everything late. Anyway the books should be available from today and hopefully you will all get yours shortly. In case anyone hasn’t got them and needs a contact number please ring or email me.
Each team will receive a new ball this year as the accounts are healthier than last season. If you haven’t yet received one please contact Audrey
Also any team requiring new equipment or extra balls should contact her.
Remember that when you register extra players you need to contact Jan to get the registration number/s but have to take payments to Rosemary Clegg.
These payments can be put through her door along with details of which team and how many players.
Match result score sheets have to be sent to Linzi Selby
These have to reach her by Saturday noon following the week in which the match took place. It is the winning Captains responsibility to make sure that they are received.
Some of the incidents that have come to the Committees notice are as follows:- that some players are undermining the Umpires decisions. Please remember that only the Captain should question the Umpire and that it should be done in a sportsmanship manner.
Please note that any fielder playing on 1st post should refrain from keeping their foot on the base. This is dangerous practice and if Umpiring you should request that this does not take place.
Also “Honesty pays”! We know that there are odd occasions when an Umpire doesn’t see exactly what happens. Although this is no excuse, some umpires are not always confident when an unusual incident takes place and not everyone is infallible. Therefore it would make it easier for everyone if players were honest in these situations.
Good Luck to all & enjoy!!!!!

Newsletter April 2011
FIRST POST NEWSLETTER APRIL 2011
The Rounders season is almost upon us and I trust that you have all been out there practising!! As you might be aware the Handbook may not be printed in time for the beginning of the matches, but by now you should have received fixture lists from Louise. If you haven’t please get in touch with her.
The Closed Tournament took place on Sunday 17th April and even though there weren’t many teams entered, as everyone who was there knows, it was a great success. The Committee would like to thank all those players who took part and also to everyone who helped on the day. Also thanks for the raffle donations. The weather was glorious and everyone enjoyed themselves. Congratulations to Arthingworth taking the glory!!!
Don’t forget “The Mixed” – This year it will be held at Husbands Bosworth on Sunday 14th August. So put it in your diaries and let’s hope that too will be a success!
Please note that this year each team will receive a new ball as the accounts are a bit healthier now due to the increase in registration fees. If any team requires extra balls or any equipment please contact Audrey.
If you have any more queries please don’t hesitate to make your enquiries to myself or Jan.
Let’s make this year a good one!!! Please respect the “Umpires” and your good sportsmanship conduct will be appreciated by everyone.
If you have any announcements to make or anything you would like included in this Newsletter please forward the information to me. We also have a “rounders” page on facebook.
Good Luck & hopefully Good weather.

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
