The Chair welcomed and
thanked everyone for attending the meeting.
Apologies Received: Terry
Minute’s last meeting:
All present read the
previous meeting's minutes
Matters arising.
Liz made contact with
the lady that said she was interested in being the minute’s secretary. The lady is now doing something else so is
unable to assist.
No-one present was
interested in or knows of anyone else that would take this on. As it stands there are 3 options:
1.
Obtain a volunteer to
be the minutes secretary
2.
We pay someone to do
the job, which could prove expensive
3.
We have no minutes, which
mean the meetings wouldn’t be proficient or professional, so there would be no
league.
Ideas
· All those present asked to actively seek a new
minutes secretary
· Letters to all the captains asking them to do
the same, including a poster to put up in pubs asking for support. (Poster to also include recruiting team
members for skittle teams) - Sue asked
to do a letter and mail the aforementioned.
Liz advised that due
to all the postponed games it may be necessary to extend the league cut off
date.
Since January Corrine
has made a note of the teams that have been played short. On the 16th and 27th
January 9 teams played 1 or 2 players short!
Ladies that hadn’t
been to previous meetings stated that they wish that the lowest scorer play as the
missing player.
Graham advised that he
had been discussing the matter of changing rules with other teams and they have
said that if the rules are changed they would set up their own league.
Liz advised again that
nothing will change without the agreement of the AGM. Facts and ideas are being put together to
enable the Management Committee to make a decision about a recommendation.
Facts to consider...
·
Possible change of
rules
·
Give teams help to
obtain team members - e.g. Make a pack
·
Brain storm ideas:
Ø Include pubs to find people, they need us as
much as we need them..
Ø Captains ask their teams to find more members:
o Face book
o Friends
o Family
o Texts
o Work
o Clubs
Liz to put a poster
together to put up in the clubs that can be sent with the letter that Sue is
going to send all the Captains.
NB JULY’S MEETING - Schedule to discuss the problem of
recruiting to overcome the playing short or postponing matches ready to put
forward to AGM.
Ann Young proposed and
Cath Parfit seconded that the minutes are true and correct.

Val Poole advised that
her team had to cancel a game and have asked the other team for a date for the
match but they still haven’t come back with a date.
Advice was sought; everyone agreed that the
team that actually cancelled would be responsible for chasing and rebooking the
match. If still no response bring to the
next meeting for assistance.

Skittle League Holme Towers Party. Liz
is going to sort out the Poster and the tickets. The price for the tickets will be £6 which
includes entry and food. Peter Wickham
is happy to do the food again.
NB PUT ‘THE BASH’ ON
THE MARCH AGENDA.
·
Penarth Times
We are still
experiencing problems with the Penarth Times.
Liz is going to write to the Editor as the Chair of the Penarth Skittle
League asking them for their support and point out that there is a huge amount
of Penarth Times readers that only buy the paper to see the updates of the
Skittle League.
There has been a
takeover of new staff, including the Editor at the Penarth Times who may not
know this.
There is 5 Divisions
of the Penarth Skittle League, maybe we are too big for them to support us?
The next meeting will take place on Thursday
13th March 2014 at the Conservative.
