Chairman's Opening Remarks 2008/9
Latest updates -
Chairman’s Comments

Welcome to a new Season. We also welcome a new Club to the League, namely Grayrigg, who will be playing at Grayrigg Village Hall. The League continues to grow – last year we moved up to the 22 nd biggest League in England out of 289, but we may not achieve this figure this year. The Kendal Open Club has decided not to enter any teams in Division’s One, Two or Three. We wait to see if they enter any for the Division’s Four and Five. We are also pleased that Cartmel have entered a 2 nd team in the 1 st Division - The A Team will be playing at Ulverston Victoria High School, starting at 7 pm, and the B team still playing at Cartmel starting at 7.30 pm.

As you may know Chris Jones and Howard Pimblett had to relinquish their roles as Match and Assistant Match Secretaries due to work commitments. At the AGM there were no volunteers to take on these positions. For this year only, Norman and I are taking on these positions. Please help us by getting your scorecards posted to us as soon as possible after the matches have been played. The results shown in the Gazette and on our website will be based on results received by each Friday morning. Please ensure that we are informed of any matches which are postponed.

Please look after your Handbook as the entry forms for the Jugend, the Annual Junior and Senior Tournaments have been inserted in this handbook. Please do not leave the completion of the entry forms until the last minute. Would all Team Captains read page 8 - To help those people who are Captains for the first time and to remind those who have been Captains before, we have listed below the various jobs, which cover the duties expected of them by the League. If these are kept to then, extra work on the Officers of the League should be reduced considerably.

Each year we spend around £1000 on trophies. Rather than increase the subscriptions we are looking at ways of reducing this cost. If any members have a collection of trophies which they do not want can you please return them to myself or Norman and we can re-use them. Besides be given a perpetual trophy, trophies will also be awarded to the winners of Junior events, but winners of Senior events will be given medals. Medals will be given to all runners –up.

Last season Bob Bagot organised the finals of the senior events of the Tournament to be played as a Finals’ Night at IBIS Social Club. It was successful and will be repeated again this year, and refreshments will also be available. The Junior events will be held at the Leisure Centre on Saturday, 21 st March with the Seniors on 22 nd March.

There are 2 new venues this year. Grayrigg will be playing at the Coronation Village Hall in Grayrigg. Cartmel A venue to be confirmed.

Grayrigg Coronation Village Hall is situated in the centre of the village, opposite the Church. Grayrigg is situated on the A685 between Kendal and Tebay.

Yours in Sport

Jeff Pimblett
