                     Notices of motion AGM in 2025 As ESMBA fees ned to be paid by the end of October and fees

 not in until the following March, with the finances dwindled following the purchase of new jacks, I recommend

that for the first time in nearly 10 years the league fee per player be increase from £2.00 each to £2.50 each. Peter

       Potteries and district AGM at Bucknall pvt Tuesday 18th February  7.30

      Oakhill league AGM tuesday february 11th , London Rd   7.30 start.

                            As you will all be aware, outdoor bowling takes place in the summer during the afternoons.

        In the winter, many people of a certain age fear driving in the dark, especally at this time of year.

      It is part of the job of the management committee to promote and develop the indoor game and,

      following a suggestion from Peter Beech at Fenton Pvt., I would invite you to speak to your players/members, to see if they would be interested in having a daytime league as well as the evening league.

 I dont see that only your existing club could enter but new teams made up from bowlers from other clubs or social bowlers, for example, I play at Burslem CC, my wife at Norton and a couple of friends at Fenton and  Baddeley Green, so we could make up a team and play at either one of these venues if available or at another venue,, but it is only an example. if sufficient people show an interest then we will have to get together to decide on venues and the number of games, ie 3 pairs or 4 pairs whether to play mornings from say 11am until about 2 pm or 3pm, or to play afternoons between say 1.30 pm and about 4pm missing the school and works traffic.

Many people who play in the existing league also social bowl so, for many, this would not be taking away any more of their time.

 please either text or email me with your name and either    yes interested or not interested at this time.

            Pete 

 When at the championships at York, I handed out some paperwork suggesting that the NESMBA change

from 2 divisions to a 2 section zonal system, my intention was to assess the feeling amongst other counties

as to the viability of the change, If I receive a positive response from another county, then I shall request the

opinion, via the county manager of whether or not Staffordshire would support any motion.

Motice s of Motion

Notice s of Motion.

 

 Notice from the Treasurer

 To increase the registration fee per player from £2.00 to £2.50p

 Reason, The treasurer has to pay the ESMBA for registrations by the 31st October each year. This amounts to a pre payment before 

the leagues fees are collected in March the following year. With an estimated 333 members, the payment in 2024 25 is likely to be about 

£2330.00. As we have spent over a £1000 on new jacks, the money in the bank is barely sufficient to ensure the running of the association.

FOOTWEAR AT MATCHES

FOOTWARE

Would all clubs ensure this season that all their players have a change of footware and that it is used before stepping on any mat. There is a rule in the book covering this but it is common courtesy to do so.

Rule 7 Footwear

Bowling Shoes or any smooth heel-less footwear must be worn while playing on the rink mat, and these must be other than the ones worn whilst travelling to the venue.
