It was agreed that the League would incur

sections.

The proposal that a certificate be issued to
each player appearing in a cup final (both sides) was after discussion passed
(John Waters to deal).

A proposal that an umpire in games must umpire
both innings (rather than part only) and that this be provided for in the Rules
was discussed but not put to a vote through lack of support.

the coming season 2011 continue to be on a fixed 12 game random basis
(irrespective of the number of clubs entering).
15.
A proposal that U17 games be changed from Sunday
mornings to Mondays or Thursdays incorporating a swap with U15s or U13s was
discussed but not voted through lack of support.
16.
A proposal by WSM for batsman to retire at 30 in
all matches of U13 and older age groups was made but not seconded.
17.
A proposal by Claverham that the Rules be
changed so that the clubs might have the entitlement to re-schedule matches by
agreement with their opposition rather than play on a particular set day was
made, seconded and voted on with 3 clubs for, and 12 against. It was not carried.
18.
A proposal was made by Cheddar in relation to proposed
revisions in Rule 7 in relation to numbers of overs and playing rules
applicable. Discussed ensued. Votes were taken and determinations for

overs per innings from 25 to 20 overs (25 for, 0 against).
