Following a vote by Member Clubs, the Management Committee directive to all teams regarding League Fixture Meetings, Special General Meetings and the League Annual General Meeting is that it is now mandatory for each member team to be represented. Each team must send at least one delegate to represent them at a fixtures meeting and, following signing-in to the meeting, the specific delegate must be in attendance for the duration of the meeting. Fixtures will only be issued at the end of any such meeting.

Failure to comply with this directive will result in a £50.00 fine being issued against any offending club. The directive is also applicable for any club delegate arriving after the meeting has commenced, unless by special arrangement with a council member.

Clauses dealing with details of numbers of delegates, and voting, at all Special and Annual General Meetings can be seen in Rule 6 in the official league handbook.

Where a team has not been represented at a league fixtures meeting and has, therefore, not collected their fixtures :- The said fixtures will be held by the League Fixtures Secretary from whom they must be collected within 3 days.

Failure of any team to collect the fixtures will result in a fine of £10.00 being issued against the offending team in addition to the first fine for not attending the meeting, together with postal costs of the fixtures being forwarded to the club secretary.

Any persistent offenders will be referred to the Management Council who are empowered to issue a further fine not exceeding £40.00 and to take further action against the club as they may deem fit.

Any points of issue raised under "any other business" at a league fixtures meeting will only be discussed if accepted by the League General Secretary & Management Council members present.
