Grimsby and District Cricket League Handbook 2016

15 Hints to Secretaries Make yourself fully aware of the rules of the league and observe them. Have a copy of the handbook with you at matches, and any meetings you may organise for your team. Be sure that all your players complete and sign a Registration Form. These forms will help you to complete the League Registration Form and can be used as evidence in case of disputes. Before signing a player be sure that they have fulfilled their financial obligations to their previous club. Reply to all correspondence at the earliest opportunity. The job has only to be done once. Notify any changes of secretary, address or contact details to the League Secretary immediately, and attend all meetings, or make sure your club is represented. Instruct your team captain to ensure that umpires are treated courteously, and bring to the notice of your committee any conduct likely to bring your club, or the game, into disrepute. You must advise the League Secretary the result of each home match in the League (whether played or not) and any winning cup ties, either by the Scoresheet form / text / email or via the pitchero website not later than 48 hours following a match. Make sure the match is filled out in full on whichever medium is used. At the season’s close submit your best averages to the League Secretary, or his Assistant if directed, before September 1 st. . Performances in the IBWEST Cup should not be included in divisional tallies. Failure to submit could lead to one of your players missing out on a trophy. All trophies should be returned to Gradley Sports , Corporation Road , Grimsby ,and Season Averages submitted to the League Secretary before September 1st . Failure to do this will result in a fine, as set out in Rule 32.
