  1. New rule changes

The following rule will be added:

 

If a team wishes to cancel or re-arrange a match they should give the opposition at least 5 days notice. Failure to do this will entitle the opposing team to claim a 20-0 walkover. If an away team requests that a match be re-arranged within the 5 day period, and the home team is willing to do so, the visiting team should cover any additional costs incurred. (e.g. if the home team would end up having to pay for 2 sets of courts.)

 

Rule 5c will be modified to not specify a limit to the number of matches a particular player may play.

 

All other rules changes that were proposed were not passed.

 

  1. Election of new committee members

 

The following new members of the committee were elected:

Frank Blundell

Mary Young

Nicola Tipping

 

  1. Food

The food was considered to be a good idea, and we will try to organise something similar for next year.
