It may be the case that we relegate 1 team and bring up 5 teams. Maybe the committee need to make this final decision on this proposal of promotion/relegation. 'Freshening up' the league might be what you prefer, but it may not be the fairest way to do things. These are proposals/suggestions Paul, not a rule! Chill out, bro. Just trying to offer counter suggestions so that folks don't blindly vote for proposals at the the AGM without thinking them through first. That's what usually happens at the AGM, people put their hands up to anything! ha ha ----------------- Your mouth's writing cheques your talent can't cash! Profile PM Quote

Ill pop the official proposals on here as i receive them for folk to see them in advance of the AGM - dont put any suggested proposals etc on this thread, just use this one for discussing the merit or thoughts on propsals received From Allan Irvine - to add to the league rules The proposal is that on Cup Final nights only, The Trophy for that particular competition be made available to the winners on evening of the final match to prevent winning team having to wait until Presentation Night, some months later in some cases to receive the trophy. Trophy still to be returned in time for engraving and re-presented at Presentation Night along with any prize money as usual. Not sure this is great, more trophies will end up lost out in town and you are wanting people to attend the presentation night, if you hand out the trophy in advance folk might bother coming along to collect the wee plastic ones. ----------------- CML Web Design Ltd Your complete web solution!

Proposal from Simon Mitchell regarding league reconstruction My proposal is that the 1st division is to have 12 teams competing. So the other divisions will be split with the rest of the teams competing in the ADPL. I also propose that 2 teams are relegated from Division 1 and 6 teams are promoted from Division 2A. This is to freshen up the league with new teams. Glad thats been proposed. ----------------- CML Web Design Ltd Your complete web solution!

Proposal from Titch Increase Entry fee for all singles comps by £1, and for doubles, 3 man etc by £1 per head Sounds good. Singles comps prize money has basically halfed since I was on the committee. You need to encourage the top players to stay in the league and play every week. Some seem to be losing interest and that is not good as folk need something to aspire to or the game dies. I think the rankings should have more importance as this would encourage people to play in all the events. Whether this is by providing better money or by seeding more events like the aberdeen singles and divisional singles based on the rankings. ----------------- CML Web Design Ltd Your complete web solution!

Proposal from Titch - each competition voted on its own seperate proposal For early rounds before finals day of the Singles, Doubles and Scotch double to be best of 7 instead of best of 5 and increasing final days to best of 9 - 11 and 13 for later rounds in line with Abdn Masters format. Again sounds good as long as folk agree to arrange matches between themeslves and not all play on the same night as there could be some late nights. Finals I guess wouldnt be a problem although if you win you could end up being there til about 10pm. ----------------- CML Web Design Ltd Your complete web solution! Profile PM Quote

As for losing them in town etc, their will be a wee proposal from myself to make sure the teams/individuals that win the perpetuals return them in a similar condition they received them Profile PM Quote
martinc Home away from home Joined: 05-Oct-2004 Posts: 1949 From: Aberdeen	Posted: 2010-07-23 08:17 Proposal from myself Teams and individuals winners of perpetual trophies are responsible for returning them the following season in a similar condition they received them. Any trophies not returned or retunred in a state of disrepair the inividuals or teams will be responsible for the replacement costs of the trophy and engravings. Teams and individuals will be debt suspended from the league if the fail to pay the replacement costs of the trophies at the committees request. in layman terms, looks after the shiny new trophies we bought or you pay for them to be replaced.

martinc Home away from home Joined: 05-Oct-2004 Posts: 1949 From: Aberdeen	Posted: 2010-07-23 08:34 At the moment on the committee we have or had Chairman - was Furry - need someone to put themselves forward for this, ideally an experienced and well respected player in the ADPL. First main job will be to sort out the bank account and change the signatories, as it not the most convienant that Mucker is still the signatory, and not fair hassling him to get various cheques signed through the season. League Secretary - was myself this season Match Secretary - was Furry - i will be putting forward Allan Irvine for this role Press Officer - new position - John Hay looked after this in the second half of the season, think he is still interested for next season Events Organiser - Proudy sorted the presentation out, and he has an idea or two for next season Treasurer - Colin Website - Chris so basically at the AGM the most improtant role that needs filled is the Chairman, step forward someone Profile PM Quote

Proposal from Titch Increase Entry fee for all singles comps by £1, and for doubles, 3 man etc by £1 per head Agree with this one, but for info, can you remind me what the current entry fees are? Paul at the moment it is Masters £8 Abdn Singles £3 Div 1 Singles £4 Div 2 Singles £3 Doubles - £6 3 Man - £12 Pairs - £6 Scotch - £6 not a propsoal but something i would like to see happening is at each finals day that a football scratch card is sold at Rileys, make it £2 per square, this will add £40 to each event - at each final there is normally 32 players, should be able to shift 40 squares Profile PM Quote
