Cheltenham League Notice Board

  • 26/05/2007 - May Newsletter


1) Registration Secretary

After 4 years of dedicated service, the League's Registration Secretary, Mr Terry Onions, has decided to call it a day after this year's Annual General Meeting. Terry, who is also the Secretary of Gala Wilton, has worked hard over the last 4 years to try and ensure that the League is administered as well as possible and is owed the thanks of everyone involved with the Cheltenham League for his efforts in this often thankless role.
Naturally, the League will need a replacement for Terry as soon as possible and if anyone is interested in taking on this position, they should contact the League Secretary, in the first instance, as soon as possible.

2) Player Debts

Clubs are reminded that the League's CDP1 form should be returned to Terry Onions, by next Wednesday, May 30th, if they intend to report any players who may owe them money. All persons thus reported will then be included on the CDP 2 form that will be circulated to each club at the Annual General Meeting, detailing all players whose registration will not be accepted by the League for next season until the debt has been discharged. Please remember that the names of players can only be included on the CDP1 list if the club has already made an attempt to recover the money owed from the player concerned and this attempt has not been successful. The League will only accept that an attempt has been made by the club to recover the debt if it can provide a copy of at least one letter that has been sent to the player requesting repayment

3. Annual General Meeting

The League's Annual General Meeting will be held at the Victory Club on Wednesday, June 6th. It is a requirement of League Rules that all clubs must have at least one representative in attendance at the meeting throughout. It is also important for all clubs to be at the meeting as League Registration Books, triplicated team sheets and various other administrative necessities for the forthcoming season will be distributed as delegates arrive.

Please note, however, that there will be no match result cards available for collection at the AGM. This is because they are pre-printed with the name of the Registration Secretary and this will not be known until after this meeting. It is hoped that a supply of Result Cards, sufficient to service the needs of each club during the month of September, will be available to be posted with each Club Secretary's advance copy of the handbook at the beginning of August. The remainder of the season's supply of Result Cards will then be available for collection at the Club's Meeting at the end of September.

4 End of Season Roll of Honour.

The 2006-2007 season is now over and the winners of all eight of the League's trophies are now known. The League Champions this year are Hatherley Rangers who now leave us to join the Northern Senior League. We wish them well with the fresh challenges that they will face in their new league.
Meanwhile, the other League honours were taken by Finlay Rovers in Division Two, Whaddon United in Division Three, Tewkesbury Town in Division Four and Churchdown Panthers in Division Five. Congratulations to all the Divisional Winners.

Meanwhile, in the cups, Endsleigh prevented Hatherley Rangers from completing a double by registering a 4-2 triumph in the Senior Charity Cup at Cheltenham Town. Whaddon United did do the double, however, when they beat Broadway United 4-1 in the Junior Cup at Kayte Lane and Sherborne Harriers carried off the Minor Charity Cup following an excellent 1-0 win over Finlay Rovers Reserves at Petersfield Stadium.


5 Supplementary Information Forms

All supplementary information forms must be returned to the League's General Secretary by next Friday, June 1st. These forms cannot be submitted at the AGM without your club incurring a fine. Please make sure that they are returned to the General Secretary as soon as possible.

DON'T FORGET THE AGM - WEDNESDAY, 6TH JUNE, 7-15 PM AT THE VICTORY CLUB

Thanks,


Nick Oram
General Secretary,
Cheltenham Association Football League
