Important Dates:

 

Mon 29th Jan 2024 10:30

 

AGM  at Rhyl Bowling Club. Captains or representative only to vote.

 

 

Latest information:

 

Tue 7th Nov

 

1. Please consider the proposals below from Highbury Ladies and tell your captain how you would like her to vote regarding these proposals at the AGM.

Thank you

 

Highbury ladies would like to propose for the 2024 AGM that there is a 10 minute break between the first 4 matches and the second 4 matches. This is because some teams do not have enough players to mark cards, do the tapes and serve drinks. We understand that some of the ladies play at night and say they don’t have time to get to their next fixture, but so do ours. They even manage to get to Wrexham in plenty of time to play. Also match results should be put on the website a.s.a.p after the match is finished.

 

We also propose that cards are numbered home and away, not just the home team. This will enable captains to position their players to accommodate any appointments that might arise.

 

Also, on finals day there should be 2 players per team represented in both the singles and pairs.

 

Proposed by Highbury

Seconded by Rhuddlan

 

2. Please read the updated rules for the Ladies Wednesday league to be ratified at the AGM and pass on any comments to your captain to forward to the fixture secretary.

Thank you
