	Minutes of the Annual Meeting held at Havant Indoor Bowling Club
	on Tuesday 12th December 1995
	This meeting was called to discuss ladies dress and a lady represenative from each club was
	asked to attend.
	Bedhampton - No representative*
	Denmead - No representative
	Cowplain - R. King
	Hayling Island - M. Sidebottom
	IBM - D. Clarke
	Leigh Park - M. Keller
	Purbrook - No representative**
	Southbourne - M. Odell
	Waterlooville - B. Crane
	League secretary - M. Tregaskis
	* The secretary apologised by phone after the meeting and said due to a mixup had overlooked
	the meeting.
	** No representatives were available due to holiday arrangements but had forwarded a lettter
	regarding their opinion on the item under discussion (J. Harris).
	The meeting commenced at 6.30pm
	1. Attendance was noted.
	2. The motion for dicussion was put to the meeting:
	"That the ladies shall be allowed to wear trousers during the cold weather for Reflex matches
	where the host club does not object."
	As would be expected a lot of differing views and opinions were soon expressed and much
	debate took place.
	Summarising is difficult but the following main points emerged:
	Trousers are worn by increasing number of players for roll-ups/casual games.
	A generation divide, i.e. Young/older players is noted within clubs. The young favouring a relaxed
	dress code whereas the older players favour strict dress code defined by the various governing
	bodies.
	A lot of ladies now feel that the dress rules are becoming too detailed and restrictive but go
	along with them.
	Also the wearing of sandals was discussed and the issue here is that if a player whilst wearing
	sandals injures herself in a `foot related` way then no insurance cover is provided under the
	clubs policy. Most clubs inform their members of this rule and allow players to wear sandals
	at their own risk.
	Only GREY TAILORED TROUSERS to be allowed.
	The CONCLUSION of the meeting was that wearing of grey tailored trousers and sandals was
	allowed if the host club permitted. i.e. the motion was carried.
	Clubs NOT ALLOWING trousers are:
	Southbourne
	Purbrook (by letter) to be confirmed at the annual AGM.
	Clubs ALLOWING trousers are:
	Cowplain
	Hayling Island
	IBM
	Leigh Park
	Waterlooville
	Bedhampton and Denmead are to be asked their preference at the annual AGM.
