Secretaries Report
I am starting tonight’s meeting with a
moan, already had two clubs advising today that they are unable to attend
meeting, one on holiday and one working.
The person working advised he did not know about meeting, the date was
given out at the AGM and was also posted on the website on the 10 July giving
three weeks’ notice, which I believe is ample time to arrange for someone to
attend if the secretary cannot. Also all
the dates were given out at the AGM in your Team envelope therefore no
excuses.
Just to add that I have cancelled next
week’s proposed meeting for new teams and new secretaries to go through match
reports as need website to do this and nothing shows until match day. I will advise the new teams on the match
return process by email and anyone else who is new to the role and needs the
information.
All fixtures are on the website; expect
changes for the 1 September and the 29 September due to the DFA Sunday
Cup. We also have 2 teams Portrack &
Billingham The Merlin who are taking part in the DFA Champions League this
season so again games may be postponed once dates are known, will normally be
same dates as DFA Sunday Cup. NRCFA
Challenge Cup is the first Sunday (October) and County cup second week.
One fixture change for Division One on
25 August St Marys v Thornaby Roundel is postponed following a request from St
Marys.
New Team sheets have been issued
tonight, if you have left over these can be used also, should have enough to
see you through most of the season, just as a reminder, white copy to referee
prior to kick off, pink copy to opponents and you retain the blue copy until
the end of the season or if required by the league for any reason. Failure to produce a team sheet will result
in fixture not taking place and team charged with an unplayed game.
Due to some teams removing their
details from the Club page this has led to a problem whereby telephone numbers
are not showing on the Club page, as teams need to contact each other a new
page under Admin has been created called Contacts, you need your login details
to access so not everyone can get access to this (required under GDPR). As for referee contact details again this is
password protected, this can be found under the Members tab and the password is
(*********), please do not give this password out.
The second division cup has been named
as the Luke Jobson Memorial Trophy following a request made to the league and
approved by the Management Committee.
For the Durham County teams just a
reminder if you have not entered the Sunday Cup then tomorrow is the closing
date for entries.
Also a reminder that the Team
Registration form was due to be handed in tonight if not done so please send
asap otherwise fine will be issued.
A note on friendlies is that teams are
playing friendlies but have not registered any players with the league this
means those players are not insured therefore any claims would be against the
Club and the player concerned.
Team of the Month – We will be continuing
with this again this season.
