Disappointing turnout for the Vice-Captain’s cup, which had only 5 in attendance. The Secretary’s Cup was short by 4, various people having made their apologies beforehand.
Maybe we need to combine a couple of cups and play them together on a Monday. To be discussed further at AGM.
Forthcoming competitions
Names and fees were handed in for the Mr & Mrs. Teams were reminded that players who have played Super league or County level darts in the last 5 years are not eligible to enter. Don’t forget it’s your responsibility to check. The entry criteria is couples who are married or have lived together for at least a year. Couples playing in the Mr & Mrs cannot also play together in the Mixed Pairs; you can play together in one or the other but not both.
Names and fees were handed in for the Singles. Remember the draw will take place at 8pm sharp so don’t be late – parking is not an excuse.
Xmas Draw – held 13Dec15
Kay thanked everyone for selling their tickets and attending the draw.
Treasurer Jane Schroder advised that the evening made a profit of £600, which was £55 up on last year. The 2016 Draw is being booked, possibly for the last weekend in November.
Children’s Xmas party – held 6Dec15
Thank you to all committee and others who helped out. Despite a hitch with the booked entertainer dropping out just a few days before, it ended up a very good party.
Presentation night
This year’s presentation will be 15 July at Ambleside. It is our 30th anniversary. We have asked for ideas but haven’t been inundated with responses.
Lynne Remmer suggested fancy dress. Teresa Schwendener said “well your team can come in fancy dress”.
We are planning extra entertainment for a very good night and have increased the ticket price to £5 this year, the first increase in living memory.
All cups must be returned to Jane Schroder by our next meeting in June. Please clean the trophy before returning it or you’ll be named and shamed and made to stand in the middle of the room and dust it!
Chairperson’s AOB
Nominations are required for committee members. We need people who can input into the running of the league and attend finals, as the same people are running them all the time. There are teams in the league who are not represented on the committee, and these were asked to consider nominating one of their members.
Treasurer advised she had received £72 league fees.
Next meeting Tuesday 7 June 2016, 8pm at Ambleside
Requirements for June meeting:
1. All cups to be returned – clean.
2. Presentation tickets and monies.
3. Nominations for committee.
4. £8 league fees (because no meetings in Mar, Apr, May).
These requirements are all listed on your sheet so please read it.
Meeting closed 8.34pm.
