Fixtures to be Postponed for World Championships and Nations Cup.

Clonlee/Marty’s Legends
Slippys/St Comgalls
St Comgalls/8 Ball Army

It was brought up that fixtures on 31st October may also be affected as a lot of players were travelling to Malta that day. Play commences 1st November. Possible fixtures affected were LBTC B/Martys and Slippys/Railway. Delegates from Slippys and Martys to get back to secretary.

It was put out to the room about a Charity for 24/25 season. Secretary to check with Scott Hutchinson about his suggestion at the AGM. Gerry McCorry suggested the Hospice as an alternative if no other suggestions. Jean McIlroy also said we could ask Rodney McIlhinney for his thoughts as he was currently going through a treatment process.

Any other business

Gerry McCorry brought up about communications for committee decisions in future for fixture changes etc. Jean McIlroy agreed and said committee would take this on board for rest of the season and beyond.

Jean McIlroy suggested swapping week 8 with week 10 to help minimise postponed games during World Championships. This would mean only Slippys/Martys would be postponed eliminating need to postpone Slippys/St Comgalls and Clonlee/Martys.

Seconded by William Irvine and in favour with rest of room.

Chairman asked rooms opinion on committee decision to move week 6 with week 9 in order to facilitate a request from the Station Bar. Gerry asked going forward would this be the norm for fixture postponements/moves. William Irvine said the the health concerns of a Station Bar player was the main reason in changing fixtures.  Jean McIlroy said it was good that we could accommodate teams and with the Station Bar’s Bye still available this was possible.

William Irvine brought up about next meeting date and with 4 of the Committee away it was a better idea to have next meeting on 14th November. Agreed.
