Season 2024-2025
Update
Preparations for New Season
The new League season is now less than two weeks away with the ten remaining teams due to kick off the 18 match season on Friday 20th September .. before then we have one Porter Cup Preliminary Round game on Friday 13th between Syston Cons B and Wymeswold Cons at the Malthouse .. Queniborough Wanderers have now received a Bye into the next round with Top House declining the chance to play in the other Preliminary Round fixture .. the draw for the Preliminary Round of the reintroduced KO Cup will take place at the next Committee Meeting on Thursday 3 October
Porter Cup Preliminary Round
This is due to be played on Friday 13 September with just the one match as follows:-
Syston Cons B v Wymeswold Cons
Everyone else now has a Bye into the Quarter Finals which are scheduled to be played on Friday 29 November
Venue Switch
There is just the one change to last year's venues .. with the pub at Ashby Folville still unavailable, Carington Cons have chosen to join the Carington Arms in playing out of the Melton British Legion.
Team Registration and Subs - 2024-25 Season
Val will be sending out reminders to each Team Secretary requesting the return of the Registration Forms along with the payment for the £50 subscription fee for the season. As a Committee we have spent an unacceptable amount of our own time chasing down payment over the last few seasons and we would appreciate it if teams made the effort to ensure that the subs are paid on time, while there is nothing in our constitution with regard to payment deadlines we are requesting that all teams try to ensure this process is completed by the end of October at the latest. There was a time not that long ago when teams would not be allowed to start the season if subs did not accompany the registration form, that's not something we would like to see reintroduced given the current reduction in team numbers, however, less teams obviously means less income for the League and its efforts to support both the commitment to local charities as well as the League's continued existence, it would therefore help if this was completed in a timely manner ... Thank you.
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.
