Notice 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. 

 A fine, of an amount to be determined, maybe to an individual player, or a club,possibly on a sliding scale, for any infringement of the rules,

    REASON, Simply to try and prevent any breaches.

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.
