The 2023 season may not yet be at the halfway stage but the League’s officers are already making plans for next year.
They held their first face to face meeting since April to review the campaign to date and cover a whole range of topics over a period of nearly 2 hours.
That means club delegates can expect a packed agenda for the July executive meeting at the Sir John Bayley Club on Tuesday the 4th starting at 7.30pm.
And on that agenda your officers want to plant seeds for clubs to think about and discuss with their members before the playing season ends, with a number of proposals.
For full details please see the June Newsletter, which will be available to download from the League Minutes section under the Admin icon.
Meanwhile, back on the greens this campaign, it’s the preliminary round of the Harris Cup on Wednesday 21st June with Shrewsbury based Prince of Wales Hotel among the sides involved in the five home-five away ties that night.
Hadnall were the shock winners of the historic trophy last year and there has already been a big surprise this year with first division Shifnal A knocking out Premier Leaguers Wrockwardine Wood.
Then on Saturday 24th June it is MSBL ‘Junior Day’ at St Georges (11am start on the bottom green) with the Under-15 and 18 Merits to be played along with the Fletcher Doubles. There’s no entry fees or dress code.
League secretary Malcolm Fletcher urged: “Please spread the word in your club and encourage all under-18s to play in this on Saturday.
“That way our junior selectors, Derek Killen and Brenda Slingo, will get the best chance to pick our junior inter-league teams for Sunday 10th September when we will be defending the title!
“And we want to keep it and add it to the veterans trophy won earlier this month!”
