Subscriptions An annual subscription for each team to be fixed at the AGM and to be paid by January 31 st , unless notified by the League. Clubs not complying with this rule will be fined as per Rule 32. In case this does not meet the expenses of the League, each team shall contribute equally towards such sums as may be required. 9. Arrangements of Fixtures Fixtures to be arranged by the League officials. The fixtures for each division will be issued to each club at, or before, the pre-season meeting. Any alterations to fixtures must be made at least three days before the match is due to be played and the League Secretary must be informed by the home club, after agreeing with the away club, otherwise fixtures must be strictly adhered to. Any club not fulfilling such fixtures may be fined as per Rule 32 by the League Committee for the first offence, and expenses incurred shall be reimbursed. For the second offence the club is liable to be expelled from the League. Fixtures can be changed by the League providing seven days’ notice is given to both teams. It is the home club’s responsibility to ensure the fixture can go ahead at the ground. In the event of it not being able to go ahead without prior notice being given, barring extraordinary circumstances, then the away side should claim maximum points. If one team cannot field a team or fails to turn up before the scheduled start, barring extraordinary circumstances, maximum points should be claimed by the other team. Any re-arranged fixture should be scheduled within the existing season – between the Monday of the first week of fixtures and Thursday of the final week of fixtures, and agreed at the time of the alteration, with venue confirmed. 10. Players Clubs must register with the League Secretary a list of playing members each year before the commencement of the season. Club secretaries will be expected to hold a copy of the registration form, showing the names of each player, address and date of birth to substantiate League Registration Forms submitted to the League Secretary. (In the case of clubs with both Saturday and Midweek teams, separate forms would be required for each team). Players must be registered with either the 1st team or 2nd team. Players registered for the 2nd team are eligible for five 1st team league matches and such players must be highlighted on the scoresheet submitted to the League. Players must play for the team they are registered for in cup competitions. Additional registrations can be affected until July 8 th. After this date formal application for further registrations will be considered by the League officials but a player will only be allowed to play in one Saturday Division and/or one Midweek Division in one season without the clubs’ secretaries and League Secretary’s permission of transference. Membership of a Youth section club does not prevent a player registering for a senior League club.
