It may not be an executive meeting, but the League’s April gathering on Tuesday the 2nd is vital for many reasons – including collection of scorecards, captains books and BCGBA handbooks!
And they will be needed soon as the first fixtures of the season are on Thursday in the Afternoon Division and the Dennis Lewis Division.
The April meeting is open to all new team captains and club officials to attend the meeting, when they will have the chance to ask officers questions.
Given the number of rule changes made at this year’s AGM, including the League’s use of the Mike Beckett results system, it might be wise if as many captains attend as possible!
A last gasp application from Shifnal means that the re-launch of the Saturday Division, with matches of four singles and two doubles starting at 2pm, looks set to go ahead – a final decision will be made at the meeting.
The division has been in cold storage since the 2019 campaign due to the pandemic and officers had set a target of a minimum of six teams to see it resume.
