NEWS
AGM REPORT NOW AVAILABLE
A report from the 2009-"Mixed"0 Annual General Meeting, including copies of the Reports given by the League and Fixture Secretaries, and the Balance Sheet, are now available on line. For more details CLICK HERE.
RULE CHANGES INTRODUCED FOR 2010-2011
All temas are strongly advised to look at the Rule Changes for Season 2010-2011 so they are aware of what action needs to be taken.
At the AGM Rules 32, 34, 36, 37 and 38 were amended. These affect notification of canceled games and rearranging of fixtures, along with the submission of Result cards; with points deductions for a failure to comply.
The reason for the changes is due to a growing increase in the lack of notification of canceled fixtures; along with late result cards; requiring Result Secretaries to chase up fixtures.
In addition there has been a change to Rule 18 regarding playing bowling off.
NEW CONTACT NUMBER FOR THE VICTORIA INN
The Victoria Inn in Eastington is still open and trading, despite various rumours to the contrary; and now has a new contact numer. Would teams who are looking to hire the alley please contact Jackie on 07544 241153.
LEAGUE FIXTURES FOR SEASON 2010-2011 RELEASED
The Team Fixture Lists and Alley Fixtures for Season 2010-2011 have now been released and are available for Download from the website. No further changes are anticipated for the forthcoming season.
It was hoped that the league fixtures would have been made available earlier, however this season has been extremely complicated. The current situations regarding the Kings Head at Kings Stanley and Victoria Inn at Eastington have resulted in the need for teams’ numbers to be allocated for multiple alleys. Added to this are requests from teams, some of which are not always possible.
To clarify the position regarding the two pubs mentioned; the Kings Head at Kings Stanley is currently closed. A new Gas Meter was needs to be fitted and this appears to have been finally completed. According to the owners, Enterprise Inns, there is then approximately 4 weeks work for the pub to be brought up to standard. The pub is being advertised as available for tenancy, so should reopen; it might be available for the start of the season, however the fixture lists state an alternative alley for the teams who wish to play here.
The Victoria Inn at Eastington is currently open and trading, although as most people are aware it is up for sale and there is a planning application pending; however there have been objections to this. The current manager is leaving; however a new Manager is taking over. The teams which have specified this as their home alley will commence playing here, but have nominated alternative alleys. In all but one case I have been able to cater for this without major changes to the fixtures.
Teams who play at the Kings Head currently have their fixtures listed at multiple alleys, this will be updated once the position regarding the Kings Head becomes clear. Please note the date for the alternative venue may be different to the normal night specified; please check with your opponents on which alley they will be playing on.
FRONT PIN CUP DRAWS MADE
The draws for the first and second rounds of the Front Pin Cups have been made available; teams are welcome to commence arranging the fixtures; please visit the relevant pages under the Cup Competitions Menu for details. Contact details for your opponents can be found on the league website under the Team Information pages. If your team has a bye in the first round and your second round opponents are known please feel free to arrange the game.
LEAGUE INTRODUCES BRIAN FREAM MEMORIAL AWARDS
In recognition of his great service along with his enthusiasm and commitment to the Stroud and District Skittle League, the commitee have decided to present new awards in memory of Brian Fream
As Brian served all teams across all Sections, it was decided to introduce two awards; a Ladies Award and a Mens Award. These will be presented to the player who has recorded the greatest number of Top Scores for any single team* over the season.
Teams are invited to submit their players name if they consider they have qualified for this award.
* - The award is for a player who records the greatest number of top scores for a single team, if a player plays for more than one team they cannot add both sets of top scores together.
PRESENTATION EVENNING SET FOR FRIDAY 11th JUNE 2010
The Stroud and District Skittle League will be holding its Annual Dance and Presentation Evening on Friday 11th June 2010 in the Carol Embury Suite at Forest Green Rovers Football Club.
Entertainment on what plans to be an excellant evening will be provided by Overboard, our Residant Band from Hereford and Kelvin Chapman and the KC Disco.
Tickets for evening will be available from the League Secretary at the end of Season Competitions, you don't have to be a winner to attend.
This year we have some new awards to present. Along with the Mixed League, which there appears to be a growing interest, we have two new Trophies. These awards are the Brian Fream Memorial Award, and will be presented to the player who has recorded the highest number of top scores for their team. If you think a player in your team has recorded more top scores than anyone else in the league we would like to invite teams to submit their name; you can either phone or email the League Secretary.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING SET FOR TUESDAY 6th JULY 2010
The Annual General Meeting of the Stroud and District Skittle League will be held on Tuesday 6th July 2010 commencing at 7:30pm. The meeting wraps up the 2009-2010 Season and prepares the league for the forthcoming Season.
The meeting offers teams the opportunity to vote on any proposals which are put forward by the Committee or Member teams, and we wish to advise teams in Sections A-F theat a proposal has been put forward by a member team which, if passed will have a major impoact on these Sections. We therefore strongly advise teams to attend. Details of proposals will be published towards the end of the season.
As a result we are expecting an increase in the turnout, therefore we would like to invite teams to pre register their planned attendance. By doing so we can guage the numbers we anticipate turning up and therefore potentially review the venue for the meeting. To register please stroudskittles@aol.com or by post. Alternatevely you can post a message on the League Message Board and obtain other teams views.
Without feedback it is difficult to judge what teams want from the league.
