8.  ANY OTHER BUSINESS:
Xxxxxxx expressed his disappointment that so few teams had registered for the Holme Tower cup this year. The meeting discussed possible causes and solutions. The chair suggested that any solutions be brought forward for discussion at the AGM.
VP asked why the players were asked to pay £1 at the averages competition. Her understanding was that the league paid for the stickers up in all finals. The chair stated that without the monies donated from the players the stickers up would not have been paid.
It was decided that better organisation for these competitions would help ensure that monies were available to the organisers for subsequent competitions.


There being no further business, the Chairperson thanked everyone present for their attendance reminded them of the next meeting on the 12th July at 7.30pm and closed the meeting.
