AGM

There were no significant decisions were taken at the AGM on 20 November 2024.

The Partington delegate reported that Trafford Borough were planning to close two greens: Navigation Rec, Victoria Park and one other unknown. He encouraged clubs to write to their councillors about this, and he had prepared a web site providing their email addresses.

There is one new club confirmed for 2025: Davyhulme Park. If clubs wish to withdraw teams or enter new teams, they should do so before the management committee meeting on 8 January 2025.
