Annual General Meeting
This year's AGM takes place at Syston Social Club on Friday 16th May with an 8pm start .. all players and/or team representatives are welcome to attend .. it should be noted that any proposed alterations to the rules and notices of motion should be registered with the General Secretary before the monthly Committee Meeting due to take place on Thursday 8th May.
Return of League & Individual Trophies
One week away from the Annual Presentation evening and we still have four trophies from last season yet to be handed back in .. two that we think have been identified as being at Sileby WMC and two that unfortunately cannot be located at Barrow Conservative Club .. in light of this situation, given the historical value to the League of these items, the Committee have unfortunately reached the decision that none of the trophies will be allowed to be taken away by the recipients and will remain in safe keeping with the Committee for the year following the Presentation Night.

Auditing of the Accounts
Treasurer, Mike James, has asked me to enquire if there is anyone out there among the skittles community that is both capable and willing to audit the accounts for the last season .. whilst not necessarily a legal requirement, we do like to keep things transparent and in order for both the current and future administrative officers of the League ... please contact a committee member if you are able to help in this matter.

Chairman, Syston & District Skittle League
