THE A.G.M FOR THE NARBERTH POOL TOOK PLACE ON THURSDAY AUGUST 23RD AT NARBERTH RAOB.

REGISTRATIONS OF THE TEAMS SAW THE JEFFREYSTON A, HEAN A AND SNOOTY FOX DROPPING OUT. TEAMS MOVING EN-BLOC WERE THE BUSH ROBESTON A TO NARBERTH RAOB, BUSH ROBESTON B TO CROSS INN CLARBESTON, AND EAGLE B TO DINGLE.

SO WITH THREE TEAMS DROPPING OUT (1 FROM THE "A LEAGUE", AND TWO FROM THE "B LEAGUE", THE SET UP IS NOW 13 TEAMS IN THE A LEAGUE, AND 12 IN THE B LEAGUE:

INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO TEAMS HAVING A BYE EACH WEEK IN THE B LEAGUE, THERE WILL BE FOUR SEPERATE WEEKS FOR THEM TO PLAY THE "B SINGLES KNOCKOUT", AND AS ALL MATCHES ARE ON A THURSDAY, IT MIGHT ENCOURAGE MORE TO ENTER.

ALSO APART FROM THE FIRST ROUND ALL (TEAM KNOCKOUTS) ARE BEING PLAYED ON A THURSDAY.

PROPOSED ON THE NIGHT WAS IF MATCHES END IN A 5 ALL DRAW, THEN A DECIDING FRAME WILL WIN THE MATCH. THAT PLAYERS NAME WILL BE DRAWN OUT OF THE HAT. THE WINNING TEAM THEN GETS THE TWO POINTS, ALTHOUGH THE SCORE WILL STILL GO DOWN AS A 5-5.

THE FORMAT FOR THE 10 SINGLES REMAINS THE SAME WITH THE HOME CAPTAINS WRITING THEIR FIRST FIVE NAMES DOWN, FOLD OVER AND THE AWAY CAPTAIN DOES THE SAME. PLAYERS CAN ONLY PLAY TWICE ON THE NIGHT, AND CAN'T PLAY TWICE IN THE SAME SESSION.

TO CLARIFY A RULE: IF ENTERING ANY KNOCKOUTS, A PLAYER MUST HAVE PLAYED AT LEAST 2 LEAGUE SINGLE MATCHES TO QUALIFY, EXCEPT FOR THE LANDLORDS, AS SOME DON'T PLAY AT ALL.

THE SECRETARY WAS ASK TO CONTACT REOHORN AMUSEMENTS WITH THE POSSIBLITY OF NEW SPONSORSHIP, AS HAVERFORDWEST COINS HAD LET THEM DOWN FOR LAST YEARS FINALS.

POOL AGM: 2017 / 2018

THE A.G.M FOR THE NARBERTH POOL LEAGUE TOOK PLACE ON THURSDAY AUGUST 17TH AT NARBERTH RAOB

THE REGISTRATIONS OF THE TEAMS SAW TWO TEAMS DROPPING OUT, THEY WERE THE LAMB INN AND ONE TEAM FROM THE IVY BUSH. (THE IVY BUSH DECIDED TO ENTER 2 TEAMS AFTERWARDS)

NEW TEAMS ENTERING WHERE THE SNOOTY FOX AND LAWRENNY SPORTS.

A TEAM MOVED EN-BLOC, IT WAS THE HEAN B BACK TO THE DECK BAR (WHICH IS NOW KNOWN AS THE SNUG BAR).

(FOLLOWING THE ABOVE SITUATION, THE HEAN B REMAINED IN THE "A LEAGUE" AND THE SNUG BAR BECAME A NEW TEAM TO THE " B LEAGUE".

DUE TO THE LAMB INN PULLING OUT OF THE A LEAGUE, THE TEMPLE BAR WHO FINISHED 3RD THE PREVIOUS SEASON WOULD NOW BE PROMOTED TO THE A LEAGUE.

PROPOSITIONS PASSED ON THE NIGHT: HOME CAPTAIN'S TO WRITE THEIR TEAM DOWN, AND FOLD OVER CARD. AWAY CAPTAIN'S WRITE THEIRS DOWN AND ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK.

THE FORMAT HAS NOW DRAMATICALLY CHANGED. THERE ARE NOW NO DOUBLES MATCHES.

IT WILL NOW BE TWO SESSIONS OF FIVE SINGLES. MEANING THAT A TEAM ONLY NEEDS FIVE PLAYERS WHO CAN PLAY TWICE, OR THEY CAN HAVE UP TO 10 PLAYERS WHO CAN PLAY ONCE.

TEAMS WILL WRITE DOWN THEIR FIRST SESSION, ONCE THOSE GAMES ARE PLAYED THEY THEN WRITE THE SECOND SESSION DOWN. AND AS IT'S 10 FRAMES THERE WILL BE MATCHES DRAWN.

(THIS FORMAT IS ON A SEASON'S TRIAL) (ALL TEAMS MUST VOTE AT THE END OF THE SEASON IF THEY WANT TO KEEP IT IN OR GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SET UP).

POINTS SYSTEM WILL BE 2 PTS FOR A WIN, 1 PT FOR A DRAW, O POINTS FOR A LOSS. FRAME SCORES WILL COUNT SEPERATLEY AS USUAL.

OBVIOUSLY IN THE TEAM KNOCKOUT YOU CAN'T HAVE A 5-5, IF IT DOES GET TO THAT SCORE, THEN THE CAPTAIN'S WILL NOMINATE A PLAYER OF THEIR CHOICE TO PLAY THE DECIDER.

THERE SHOULD NOW BE NO EXCUSES FOR CANCELLING MATCHES, EVEN IF A TEAM HAVE FOUR PLAYERS THEY CAN STILL WIN 8-2.

ALL KNOCKOUT SEMI-FINALS VENUES WILL BE DISCUSSED PRIOR TO THE EVENTS BY THE COMMITTEE TO ENSURE PLAYERS HAVE DECENT VENUE AND REASONABLE START TIMES.

IF ANY KNOCKOUT DRAW IS NOT PLAYED ON OR BEFORE THE ALLOCATED DATE, THEN THE HOME PLAYER (PLAYERS) WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE PUT THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND. (IF A PLAYER HAS A VERY GOOD REASON WHY THEY CAN'T ATTEND THEY SHOULD ARRANGE PRIOR TO THE DATE), ALTERNATIVELY IF A MAJOR PROBLEM HAS RISEN ON THAT DAY AND THE PLAYER JUST CAN'T MAKE, PLEASE CONTACT THE OPPOSITION A.S.A.P.

LAST YEAR THERE WAS A SEPERATE SINGLES KNOCKOUT IN THE A LEAGUE AND THE B LEAGUE. IT WAS PROPOSED BY RICHARD LEWIS THAT THE TOURNAMENTS SHOULD BE CALLED "OPEN SINGLES" AND B LEAGUE SINGLES.

THEREFORE A LEAGUE PLAYERS CAN ONLY ENTER THE OPEN SINGLES, WHILE B LEAGUE PLAYERS HAVE THE OPTION OF EITHER ENTERING THE B LEAGUE SINGLES OR THE OPEN SINGLES, THEY CAN'T ENTER BOTH THOUGH.

PRIZE MONEY FOR THE OPEN WOULD BE MORE THAN THE B LEAGUE.

DAVID LEWIS WILL BE STARTING A FACEBOOK PAGE IF PEOPLE WANT TO SHARE THEIR RESULTS AND COMMENTS.

ALL TEAMS AFTER THE MATCH SHOULD SEND A PHOTO OF THE CARD TO ME VIA PHONE, SO I CAN GET THE LEAGUE STATS SORTED OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF UNABLE TO DO THIS THEN DROP CARD OFF AT THE IVY BUSH.

IT WAS PROPOSED THAT ON FINALS NIGHT THAT AN EXTRA INCENTIVE TO GET SUPPORTERS IN WOULD BE TO HAVE SEPERATE TOURNAMENT "LAST MAN STANDING". ANYONE TAKING PART ON FINALS NIGHT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER. THUS GIVING BOYS WHO DON'T USUALLY GET TO PLAY AT THE FINALS A CHANCE.

THE FORMAT WOULD BE A STRAIGHT SINGLES MATCH WITH PLAYERS NAMES DRAWN OUT OF THE HAT. THOSE DRAWN AT THE END WOULD STAND A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING. THERE WOULD A SMALL FEE. WITH A PRIZE FOR THE LAST MAN STANDING AND ALSO SOMETHING FOR THE MOST WINS ON THE TROT PLAYER.

BERNARD AND TONY THOMAS SAID THEY WOULD SPONSOR A TROPHY FOR THE WINNER.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS: RICHARD LEWIS (CHAIRMAN), MIKE WILLIAMS (VICE-CHAIRMAN), COLIN HALLWOOD (SECRETARY AND TREASURER), COMMITEE MEMBERS: DAVID LEWIS (COUNTY CAPTAIN), JONATHAN BOWEN,     WAYNE JOHN, MATTHEW THOMAS, JOSH DUCKFIELD, GARETH STEVENS.

2014/2015 AGM

UNFORTUNATLEY THE KSSC, WISEMANS BRIDGE A AND NARBERTH RAOB B HAVE ALL PULLED OUT, MEANING THAT THERE ARE NOW 30 TEAMS, WHICH WILL RESULT IN 2 LEAGUES OF 15 WITH A BYE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE CHAIRMAN LAST NIGHT, WE THOUGHT IT WAS UNFAIR THAT ANY OF THE BOTTOM 3 TEAMS OF THE B LEAGUE WENT UP, SO DECIDED TO PROMOTE WHITLAND AFC, THE C LEAGUE WINNERS FROM LAST YEAR WHO ARE A MUCH STRONGER SIDE, AND THEIR CAPTAIN IS HAPPY TO OBLIGE.

MATTERS ARRISING SAW STARTING TIMES CONTINUING TO GO WELL. THE MASTERS KNOCKOUT WAS HELD AFTER THE SEASON AT THE ALPHA WITH 28 PLAYERS ENTERING. FINALS NIGHT STARTED OFF A BIT QUIET BUT A GOOD CROWD SOON TURNED UP.

PROPOSITIONS MADE ON THE NIGHT WERE THAT EVERY FRAME IN A LEAGUE MATCH WILL BE DETERMINED BY LAGGING. IT WAS ALSO PROPOSED THAT IF A PERSON WANTS TO ENTER THE KNOCKOUTS,(EXCLUDING LANDLORDS) THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE PLAYED AT LEAST TWO FRAMES FOR THEIR TEAM (DOUBLES WILL DO).

ALSO IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT CHANGING DOUBLES PARTNERS OR TRIPLES DURING THE KNOCKOUT STAGES SHOULD NOT HAPPEN UNLESS A PLAYER IS INJURED OR UNABLE TO PLAY FOR ANY REASON. ONCE A PLAYER TAKES THAT PLACE IT CAN'T BE CHANGED. IF THEY CAN'T MAKE IT DUE TO HOLIDAYS THEY MUST ARRANGE A DATE WITH THE OPPOSITION PREFERABLY BEFORE THE ALOTED DATE.

ALSO IN THE PLAYER OF THE SEASON STATS ALTHOUGH THEIR DOUBLES RECORD WILL BE PRINTED IT WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE PLAYERS TALLY. SO ONLY THEIR SINGLES RECORD WILL COUNT. IF THERE IS A TIE THEN A PLAY OFF WILL DECIDE THE OUTCOME.  

ANYWAY HOPE EVERYONE HAS AN ENJOYABLE SEASON
