Cheshire Cricket League Handbook 2023

Cheshire Cricket League Constitution 21. Resignations No club in membership of the League shall negotiate with any other league for membership thereof without first obtaining the written permission, including via email, of the Executive Committee. Such permission shall not be withheld unless the club has failed to discharge all its obligations to the League. Such permission shall not be interpreted as either resignation or dismissal. Resignations from the League must be in writing and received by the General Secretary no later than 30th June to be effective for the following season and the club will not be able to leave the league until after the completion of the following season. Resignations received after the relevant date will make the club liable for their League subscriptions for the following season. Any club resigning from the League shall forfeit any claim on the League’s assets. 22. Suspension of a Club Any proposal to suspend a club from membership of the League must be made in writing to the General Secretary with reasons for such a proposal clearly stated and must be seconded by another member-Club. Any Club, the subject of such a proposal, should be given every opportunity of answering such proposals at an Annual or Special General Meeting, and for such a proposal to be effective it must receive a majority of not less than 3/4 of all member clubs present and voting at the relevant meeting. 23. League Averages All Clubs will be required to enter full match details onto their Play-Cricket website for inclusion in the League Handbook subject to any qualification limitations the League may impose. 24. Inter-League Promotion and Relegation The top two teams in each season of the First Division and Division A shall be promoted to the Cheshire County Cricket League (CCCL) provided they meet the ground and facilities criteria of the CCCL together with other ECB Premier League entry requirements (e.g. Clubmark and Junior team cricket) . The bottom two teams of that League shall be relegated to the First Division and Division A. In the event that any club shall not meet the appropriate ground criteria or if for any other reason inter-League promotion and relegation shall in any season not be possible, the Executive Committee shall make other arrangements as it deems appropriate. 76
