REFLEX LEAGUE
	Minutes of the Annual General Meeting at Havant Indoors Bowls Club
	on Monday 27th January 1992
	1.  The meeting was attended by representatives from each of the participating clubs:
	Bedhampton            -   C. Lloyd & P. Oliver
	Cowplain                   -   Rose King & E. Wilkinson
	Hayling Island         -   M. Sidebottom, K. White, O. Williams & F. Eeles
	I.B.M.                         -   F. Ward & M. Tregaskis
	Leigh Park                -   M. Kellar & N. Burr
	Purbrook             -   J. Powell & D. Dowding
	Southbourne       -   A. Odell & G. Greenfield
	Waterlooville     -   M. Underhay & G. Wilcox
	2.   The Water Company had been invited to send representatives but were not represented.
	3.   The meeting commenced at 6.30pm.
	4.   The minutes of the meeting held on 25th Feb 1991 were presented and accepted as a true
	record. Proposed by P. Oliver and seconded by F. Ward
	5.   The statement of accounts were presented. These showed that a small amount had been spent
	on photo copying, stamps, envelopes etc. However the Presentation Evening had produced a profit of
	£71.50 which was held by Tony Odell. It was felt that an Account should be set up to retain the
	League`s cash resources. The statement was proposed by Maurice Underhay and seconded by
	M. Keller that it was true and correct. This was agreed by all. Some comment was made on an
	individual levy on clubs but since the league objective is non profit making and individuals/clubs
	pay their own way in their support of the league it was felt that no club levy was required.
	6.   Ken White informed the meeting that he was standing down as Reflex secretary and Frank Eeles
	as Chairman was also standing down. He then asked for nominations for the vacant positions of
	secretary and chairman from attendees. After some discussion M. Tregaskis and M. Underhay
	volunteered to fill the positions of secretary and chairman respectively. There being no other
	nominees they were accepted for these positions.
	7. M. Tregaskis thanked Ken and Frank on behalf of the participating Bowls Clubs for their work
	over the preceding years in the continuance of the successful running of the league.
	8.   The 1991 presentation evening was then discussed and it was agreed by all that it had been a
	very enjoyable evening and an outstanding success. This was due to the generousity of the
	Southbourne Social Club in allowing use of their premises. Tony Odell, his wife and his fellow bowls
	team members were thanked for their efforts in organising the evening.
	It was noted that the support from clubs was variable however and the point was made that all
	clubs should make an effort to support the evening even if they were not one of the winners.
	In view of the success of the event it was unanimously agreed to follow a similar format for the 1992
	meeting. Tony Odell suggested the 11th Oct and this was agreed subject to the agreement of the
	Southbourne Socal Club. This date was confirmed post meeting by Tony.
	9.   Pete Oliver asked on a point of order why Water Company B.C. ad been invited  to join. Gerry
	Wilcox said he had had discussions with the club and thought that thty had sufficient lady members
	to support a team. However some members doubted this as the club had been forced to field members
	from other clubs in their friendly matches. After some difference of opinion it was agreed by the
	majority to contact the club and confirm or otherwise their interest in the running of a team within the
	league. Individual clubs would then make their own fixture arrangements with the Water Company B.C.
	Subsequent to the meeting the Water Company B.C. informed the league that it was unable to form a
	team to play in the league. It is therefore assumed that the invitation to the Water Company B.C. had
	been withdrawn.
	10.  The Continuance of the membership of IBM B.C. within the league was then raised as a consequence of
	last years discussions. IBM B.C. had played some of their home matches on opponents ground. No
	objection to the continued membership of IBM within the league was made and clubs were happy for
	IBM to play their home matches on their own rink. It was agreed that forthwith IBM would play their home
	matches at the Mountbatten Centre (Alexndra Park). IBM B.C. also stated their intention follow the
	normal match fee format whereby the home team meets the green fees for the match; i.e. reciprocal
	match fee arrangements.
	11.  Clarification of the match starting times was then requeted. Thee are as agreed in the meeting of
	last year; i.e.
	April - 5.45pm
	May - July - 6.15pm
	1st-18th  August - 5.45pm
	19th August to end of season - 5.30pm
	This is for evening matches only. Teams can arrange for morning or afternoon games starting at times
	mutually areed.
	12.  Some comment was made as to the points system. It is as follows:
	The match consists of 5 mixed rinks. 18 ends.
	One point is awarded to the winning team on a shot basis on each rink.
	One half point is award to each team on a drawn rink.
	Two points are awarded to the overall team winner on shot total on all rinks.
	One point is awarded to each team if each scores the same aggregate shot total.
	That is a total of seven points per match.
	Matches may be postponed only because  of inclement weather; i.e. the green is unplayable.
	Failure to show for a match:  For each rink (triple) that fails to show their opponents shall be awarded one
	point and aggregated with 10 shots.
	Thus if the whole team defaults their opponents are awarded seven points and a fifty shot (for) winning
	margin.
	Starting time limit. Should a team or rink fail to show within 15 mins of the agreed start time then their
	opponents can claim the game or rink unless the delayed team (rink) advises their opponents of an
	unavoidable holdup causing their late arrival.
	It is the duty of the home team capain to advise the Reflex Secretary of the match result as soon as
	possible after the match is completed.
	13.  It was agreed that matches could be played on any day of the week as mutually arranged between
	the clubs involved.
	14.  The match fixtures were then arranged and the meeting closed.
