| 1) | Chairman’s Report Thank you for all the parts of this league, from the committee members to the secretaries, welfare officers, managers/coaches and players; without whom we couldn’t be the league we are. There have been a number of changes since the last AGM, we have a new secretary who has done a sterling job, thank you, alongside our new competitions secretary, who I would also like to thank for some fabulous cup finals. Our divisional reps do a fantastic job of keeping track of their age groups, the referees secretaries. I thought that the job had been done well previously, but credit to them they have got better and better as time goes on. There also appears to be less complaints and issues around this area as the relationships with the referees develops. The LMC have interviewed for the divisional rep roles, and are pleased to welcome Mike Warburton at U12’s and Alison Duckworth at U13’s. Finally, we need to acknowledge this man beside me, our president. This season he has been immense, he is the man who knows everything we need and has assisted at every level, knowing SCORY inside out and advising the new officers as they are learning the job. He is a credit to everyone and we are very lucky to have him as part of the MCYFL- on behalf of the league, I thank you Geoff. |

| 12) | AOB of which notice has been duly given Geoff Jackson:- As a league we have had a turbulent year, we had a major GDPR breach and were close to receiving a substantial fine. As this was traced to one person, we lost our secretary. As a result we restructured and appointed Jo and Carlene, as league secretary and competitions secretary respectively. Many thanks to Carlene who has done a fantastic job and any of you were present at any of the cup finals, am sure you will agree, she did a superb job. Jo as secretary has worked hard and although made a few mistakes, which we all do as we are human, has done an excellent job. Both Jo and Carlene have had and will continue to have a steep learning curve but nothing they won’t be able to deal with. Please be aware and make your managers aware that this season due to the internal turmoil we have issued no fines, however this will not be the way we are to continue. Meeting Closed:- 7.29pm Jo Eastwood League Secretary |
