Pre-Season Meeting
The Wellington Suite
Market Harborough
Tuesday 26.02.2008 at 7.30pm PROMPT
Dear Captain
You are invited to attend this year’s meeting, details as above to register for the much anticipated 2008 Season.
Although only one player needs to register their team we are hoping to discuss and explain the new rules on the night. (This year we are playing to NRA Rules). There will be quite a few changes and it might be a good idea therefore to send along as many team members as you can – especially the one’s who will be umpiring.
Please complete, detach and bring along the slip below on the 26th along with £10.00 registration fee.
We are requesting an email address per team – this will not be published but used to forward newsletters and also committee minutes so that all teams are kept up to date and to keep communication lines open. You can also read or send information to the league internet blog. Check it out!!!! You can find this on http:/mhdlrl.blogspot.com/

WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMAN
MINUTES READ FROM THE 2006 AGM MEETING AND WERE SIGNED AS CORRECT
TREASURERS REPORT READ THROUGH. Accounts signed as true record.
Confirmed that teams who do not pay at Northampton Road do not pay for paint & marking there.
Arising from both 2006 & 2007 Agenda
· · ½ Rounder Rule
Voted 18 for, 11 against to play ½ rounder rule in the league –
½ rounder to be played in 2008 season with review at 2008 AGM.
To confirm ½ rounder goes to the player and can only be scored if the ball is hit. You cannot score half off the last ball.
· · NRA Rules. As the ½ rounder rule was introduced for the 2008 season, it was also voted that the league will play to NRA rules which will include the reduction of the 10 rounder follow on rule to 5 rounders. The Committee during closed season will ensure that all current NRA rules are checked and implemented into our playing rules. Any rules that need to be brought to players attention as they may be different will be highlighted at the Pre Season meeting or in newsletters (first Post)
· · Tournament attendance discussed as was the fact despite changes in 2007 season, attendance was the same. This could have been due to the dates available. 2008 Season will have three tournaments only to include the Clik,. These may be open dependant on numbers and the committee will make a final decision.
· · Score Sheet Deadlines The change to Saturday noon will remain in force as it has seen and improvement.
· · Umpires This was discussed at length as were possibilities of changing the current format. It was voted that teams will not provide their own umpire but designated teams per the handbook fixtures will be arranged as is our normal practice. This will be reviewed at 2008 AGM. The possibility of umpiring qualifications to be run along side the NRA were discussed and agreed that the committee will enquire about how this can be arranged, costs, dates and possible funding through the Sports Council, this can be checked through Deb Craddock (Kettering League) & Sue Handy (Tester).
· · Knock out Cup – Eligible Players. A ruling had been introduced in 2007 to try to ‘police’ players playing in the League knock-out cup who are not necessarily League players. This was not effective and the system considered possibly unfair. The league would hope that teams and players alike enter this competition sportingly. It was voted that players must be registered with the league on or before 01.06.2008 to be eligible to play. Any player or player detail change from 02.06.2008 will have a ‘6’ prefix and not be eligible to play in the knock out cup.
· · Starting Time - Some games have started very late and a number of possible solutions were discussed to stop this but again, it could be very complicated to enforce. The 2008 score sheets will have the box on the bottom which asks the start time and reason for lateness. If the match was late, the results officer will advise the committee and the reason considered. If the reason is not acceptable, a 1 pint fine may be issued against the guilty team.
· · Bad light Ruling Proposed rule agreed –
When light is poor during or before a game, both captains and both umpires will each have one vote to decide if is safe and sensible to continue, the vote governed by the highest number. In the event of a tied vote, the umpires can have one additional joint vote as to continue play or not. The vote can be re-done should the weather deteriorate further.
· · NRA Rules. As the ½ rounder rule was introduced for the 2008 season, it was also voted that the league will play to NRA rules which will include the reduction of the 10 rounder follow on rule to 5 rounders. The Committee during closed season will ensure that all current NRA rules are checked and implemented into our playing rules. Any rules that need to be brought to players attention as they may be different will be highlighted at the Pre Season meeting or in newsletters (first Post)
ANY OTHER BUSINESS
200 club to be run in 2008 Season
Northampton Road pitches – This is still a major concern and correspondence from and to the council was passed to all members. The league will not be charged for the pitches in 2007. The possibility of Symington’s and Great Bowden were discussed too. This is an active issue and needs to be addressed during closed season.
· · Jack Farrow to find out when the next Sport or Council open meeting is and advise league. All players possible are urged to attend and highlight our plight.
· · The committee will look at all options and make the best decision possible whilst keeping all league members informed immediately. If anyone can offer assistance, this would be gratefully received.
