2. Management Committee Report. The report, which was sent to all member clubs before the meeting, was presented by the Chairman. He began by referring to problems and issues that the MC faced as a result of the Covid Pandemic and highlighted the difficult decisions faced on the hand wanting the season to be played but conscious of the overall health concerns member clubs faced. Eventually season 2020 had to be cancelled. Fortunately season 2021 was eventually started in July and completed finally in early 2022.
The Chair once again congratulating all clubs on what he termed as 3 closely fought divisions. The Chair then proposed the adoption of the MC report. Acceptance of report Proposed by SDM, Seconded by Penina.
3. Maximum match fee meal price of 25€ The chair asked attendees if there was any desire to increase this price. Clubs unanimously supported increasing this by 5€ a new maximum of 30€.
4. Financial Report The report was presented and accepted by the meeting as written. The carried over position at year end is higher than in previous years which is why the MC proposes continuing the subscription at the current level of 100€ for 2022.
Post Meeting note: Coffees for the AGM cost €93.50 so the carried over balance is €3,868.83
5. Change in League Structure from 3 to 4 Divisions The chair asked Penina, who raised the issue, to outline why they thought this a good idea. The chair suggested that this could mean smaller divisions and fewer matches. Penina suggested that Division 1 would now have a minimum of 14 matches to be played over the season, more if successful in KO’s.
A vote was taken with only Penina in favour of 4 divisions so the status quo is maintained.
6. Finals Day 2022 The chair outlined that discussions will take place with Tavira to agree a suitable date etc.
7. Nominations for the MC None have been received so current MC will continue.
