2014 Captains Meeting - Friday 7th February

Our annual Captains Meeting will be held on Friday 7th February at the Huntingfield Village Hall (opposite the Huntingfield Arms), from 7.30pm. This will be the fourth time we've held it at Huntingfield and would like to thank them for allowing us to ''invade'' their village once again.

The meeting IS NOT an AGM-style meeting, as we aim to keep the league as informal and sociable as possible.

However we would point out that the meeting is only intended for a teams' captain or their appointed stand-in, so teams do not need to turn up ''mob-handed''. Any decisions made during the evening will stand and if any vote is required on any matter, a one-vote-per-team rule will apply. (For those of you who still get confused, a venue that has two teams will therefore get two votes).

On the evening, we will agree and draw from a hat if necessary, the league groupings. Teams that are located ''out on the limb'' will be allocated a group that attempts to minimise their travelling where possible but bear in mind, that is determined by which teams enter.

We will also carry out the draw for the First Round of the 2014 Adnams Cup (for the 32 teams that said yes to entering the Cup) and will be providing the pre-drawn knock-out sheet for the Cup, Plate and Play-Off matches format.

Other information available on the evening will include;
  • Belgium/Holland trip 2014
  • KYCN visit to Ipswich/Shotley
  • Moules & Boules Charity Pairs Tournament at Aldeburgh
  • 3rd Eels Cup Pairs Tournament
