At the last Council Meeting (14 March) it was proposed that the 2021-22 Season not start until January 2022. After some discussion it was agreed that just ahead of the next Council Meeting (27 June), all teams should be canvassed for their opinions. It was thought that by say mid-June, they could be in a better position to weigh up the lifting of restrictions, their players' feelings about face to face meetings and the availability of venues. Area secretaries were asked to contact their teams about this time.
It was also suggested that if it was felt that we could perhaps start a normal season in September, that the Leagues should consider the temporary restructuring of their divisions. The aim would be to give maximum flexibility for coping with a 'winter break' or a shortened schedule should COVID restrictions be re-imposed.
In the meantime, your Area Secretaries will have been in touch about the following two competitions;
The Merseyside Individual Competition on Monday 10 May with finals the following week. Please contact your Area Secretary immediately if you want to make a last minute entry.
The three leagues that have been running online will soon come to an end. If any teams are interested in a short season in June or July then again please contact your Area Secretary to register.
