Aunt Sally Etiquette

Phil Allen
Annual General Meeting
19th March 2024
held at the Ex Services Club, Bicester
Apologies: Sophie Thomson, John Plested, Lewis Wilson.
Welcome - Phil Allen (Secretary) welcomed everyone to the meeting. How encouraging it was to see so many there (31). He explained that, in the case of any voting throughout the meeting, it would be just one vote per team.
Minutes of the last meeting – Those in attendance were happy with the minutes of the 2023 meeting. Proposed by Nick Cherry and seconded by Amy Sheehan.
Finance – Phil Allen produced a copy of, and discussed, the accounts which had already been distributed. It was explained that the registration fees (£1395) and the competition entrance fees (£299) were, quite obviously, insufficient to cover the expenditure (£3164.71). And this is why he, as treasurer, was so grateful to a number of sponsors who donated another £1190. It was then further discussed that next season (2025) the registration fees should be increased to £50 per team. All members present were happy with the paperwork produced. Proposed by Billy Atwell and seconded by Ant Bradbeer.
Election of officers – the secretary explained that both he and the chairman, George Deans, would be happy to stand again but asked everyone in attendance to bear in mind that the time is near (like, next year!) when members should be considering a replacement for the long standing secretary.

Constitution of the League
We will continue as last year, ie:
nine players may be used in the match
five legs
six players per leg
players can be changed in each leg if desired
in the event of a drawn leg, three stickers and then one sticker (if necessary), staying on one stick
one point for a win
Divisions cannot be formulated until completed registration forms are received by the secretary.
The only team known to be dropping out is Launton S&S Divas.
Teams known to be keen to join us are Ardley United FC, Barley Mow, Bicester Bowls Club, Crown Twyford B and Pheasant Inn B.
In the hope of finding more new teams, the secretary has written to a number of “new” pubs to see if they
would like to join us and is awaiting further response.
It was reiterated by the secretary that it wasn’t possible to say at the meeting which team would be in which division. This cannot be done, of course, until the completed registration forms have been returned. And, to amplify this, the secretary will continue to check the registration forms to see if any “higher class” player has dropped into a lower team thereby increasing that team’s potential average. Should that be the case, then consideration will be given as to whether that benefiting team should be in a higher division – and, maybe, if the losing team should drop down.
Fixtures/Cup Competitions
The 2024 season will commence on Wednesday 24th April.
As in recent years, there will be no free weeks in the fixtures – unless, of course, it’s a cup week and teams have already been knocked out. The “divisional” singles and pairs competitions have proven to be a great success and every effort will be given to playing down to the final at each venue, thus eliminating any need for a semi finals night.
With teams now comprising of six players, the previous four a side competition will be replaced by a triples competition.
Any other business
The secretary thanked all of our sponsors for their support last season and explained we couldn’t have managed without their help.
Result reporting this coming season will continue to be via WhatsApp.
Karl Budd proposed that the secretary takes his wife out for a meal, paid for out of league funds.
If an away team cannot fulfil a fixture because of a lack of players, or intend not turning up because of
inclement weather, then they are asked to notify the opposition by midday. If the home team/hosting pub or
club have that feeling, or suspect that the visiting team will not turn up, then, to save unnecessary
expenditure, they do not have to prepare food. If cancellation is due to the weather, both teams must
understand that food is unlikely to be prepared.

On a Tuesday night, when the Bell B - with a handicap of 6 - are playing the Red Cow, Bull, RiffRaff, Mr&MrsFits and Launton S&S the most they get is four (the maximum decided upon at the AGM). When they're up against the Ex Services and Lower Heyford S&SC, the Bells' handicaps go up to their maximum six (whilst those other teams get their two or four as shown in the table).Likewise, on a Wednesday, the Cherries, Ashton Club, Bell and the Ex's handicap goes down to four when they play the Misfits and adjusted to a maximum of four when playing the others.
You know what I mean, don't you?! It's just the same as last year.
