There is two mistakes on the dates on fixture sheets handed out at the meeting. The games scheduled for November 7th will be played on November 14th and the games scheduled for 28th November will be played on 5th December. The fixtures on the website has the correct dates. Registration 26th September 2023 at Engineers Teams not present: Bentinck, Throckley Our sponsors for this season Borderline Taxis – League Sponsor Precision Joinery & Tiling – Singles Sponsor LW Carpet Fitting – Doubles Sponsor The following teams have confirmed that under 18s are unable to play games in their club. Throckley, Wallsend Buffs, Heaton Buffs A&B, Forest Hall. Some clubs were unable to confirm tonight and will get back to me as soon as possible. The offer from Wallsend Buffs of £150 in exchange for hosting the Peter Heron Memorial Trophy final was accepted. The singles final/presentation night was drawn out and will be held at Dunston. All other final and semi final venues were also drawn out as follows: Singles Final: Dunston. Semis: Whitley Comrades and Westholme Doubles Final: Liberal. Semis: Westfield and Dunston Veterans Final: Heaton Buffs. Semis: Wallsend Buffs and Engineers Division 1 KO Cup Final: Westfield. Semis: Gosforth and Gateshead Division 2 KO Cup Final: Engineers. Semis: Springbank and Forest Hall Peter Heron Trophy Final: Wallsend Buffs. Semis: Heaton Buffs and Gateshead(Forgot to draw semis out at the meeting so semis were drawn randomly from those who had not already been selected for a second venue by Andrew Skilling) These venues will not change if a player/team gets drawn at their home venue however there may be a slight edit of venues if a team that is due to host a semi final is drawn into the other semi final. The proposal to split the singles and doubles competitions between divisions 1 and 2 was rejected however I will run a singles competition at the end of the season in this manner to see what interest there would be ahead of next season. As there is no monthly meetings this season can I remind all captains that a picture of the completed scorecard should be sent to John Craig or posted to the facebook group to collate results. If this is not possible the result itself can be sent to John with the physical scorecards either handed to John, Allan Adams or Terry Douglas. Also for all cup games it is the responsibility of the winning player/team to ensure the result is given to John Craig before the given deadline. The draws for the Peter Heron prelim round and Round 1 took place Prelim Round 3rd October Gosforth A v Gateshead Round 1 10th October Gosforth A/Gateshead v Westholme Throckley v Engineers Heaton Buffs B v Liberal Dunston v Jubilee Bentinck v Westfield Wallsend Buffs v Heaton Buffs A Whitley Comrades v Springbank Forest Hall v Gosforth B Next meeting will be held on Wednesday 18th October at Wallsend Buffs starting at 7.30pm AGM 5th September 2023 at Wallsend Buffs Teams present: Wallsend Buffs A, Wallsend Buffs B, Westfield, Dunston, Whitley Comrades, Liberal, Engineers, Throckley, Gosforth Cons A, Gosforth Cons B, Bentinck, Westholme, Heaton Buffs, Newcastle Golf Club, Jubilee Teams not present: Forest Hall New teams: Heaton Buffs B Teams changing venues: Newcastle Golf move to Springbank, Heaton Buffs moving to Gateshead SC, Jubilee moving to Heaton Buffs A. The Jubilee are still attempting to sort a team at the jubilee if this happens Heaton Buffs A would be a new team Teams lost: Wallsend Buffs B. Have had no word on Forest Hall at this moment if they are entering the league this season The league format was agreed to 2 leagues of 8 playing eachother 3 times Division 1 Gosforth A Gateshead SC Wallsend Buffs Whitley Comrades Gosforth B Jubilee/Heaton Buffs A Throckley Division 2 Bentinck Liberal Springbank Engineers Dunston Westholme Forest Hall Heaton Buffs B If Jubilee do have a team then Heaton Buffs A would drop into Division 2 and Bentinck would be placed in division 1 giving one league of 9 and one of 8 The league will begin with Round 1 of the Peter Heron trophy on Tuesday 3rd October and the first league game will be on Tuesday 10th October For the Newcastle United champions league group games being played on Tuesdays there will be no fixtures that week. The teams have agreed to carry on buying the 6 drinks for the opposing team on league matches however we decided to just do this for Rounds 1 and 2 on the fixtures. Players under the age of 18 will now be allowed to play in league matches in clubs that they are allowed in. Would each captain please find out whether their club allows this before the registration meeting. Monthly meetings now all be held at Wallsend Buffs but will no longer be mandatory to attend, the dates will still be published on the fixtures for when competition draws will be done for anybody that wants to be there. To reflect this we have changed the league fees to the following League Entry: £90 Player Registration: £2 Singles Entry: £3 Doubles Entry: £4 Veterans Entry: £2 With attendance not being mandatory for handing in the match cards if it has been posted to the facebook group, sent to me or handed to me that will count as being received and no fine will be given. Preferably I will receive these on the night of the game. For any competition the winning player must inform me of the result when the game is played as soon as possible. At the registration meeting we will be drawing the venue for the singles final/presentation night out it was decided that for being able to see the game, having space to fit the amount of people expected to attend and parking availability this would be between Dunston, Engineers and Westholme. All other finals will be drawn from clubs who wish to host one and will not be changed. For semi-finals a suitable neutral venue will be sought when the draws are being made. Regarding sponsorship of the league I am delighted to announce that Borderline taxis will be the title sponsor of the league this season and that Precision Joinery and Tiling has agreed to sponsor the league singles. If anybody has there own business they would like to promote or knows somebody that would be interested in doing so please get in contact with me. Can all teams please bring completed registration forms and any applicable fees to the registration meeting which will be held at the Engineers on Tuesday 26th September starting at 7.30pm |
