**OLD BUT RELEVANT LEAGUE NOTICES**
- The tick-box returns were sent out on the 29th December 2009 by email. The deadline for returning the forms is the 12th March 2010
- The League Welfare meeting on Tuesday 9th February is cancelled and will be re-arranged.
- Nominations for the Eric Service award need to be sent to the League Secretary before the 31st March 2010. This is the award for any club member that does work behind the scenes for a club all without reward and above the norm - loosely termed the "Unsung hero Award."
- A reminder about Domestic Rule 9C: If after the 1st of January in each season, the home pitch is unfit for play, the game must be played on the away teams pitch if available and playable and the kick-off time will not be affected, unless mutually agreed. In all cases every effort must be made to play the fixture on the date scheduled.
- Wednesday 10th February 2009 - TROPHY RETURN MEETING - Philadelphia Club ALL ANNUAL trophies to be returned to this meeting so they can be inspected for damage etc. They will not be accepted at the February meeting or the welfare meeting. They MUST be brought back to this meeting. The drop-off session commences at 7.30pm
- In order to help with developing the League can I ask clubs to consider the following questions: A) What does the League do well? B) Where can the League improve? C) What suggestions does your club have in order to help improve the League? No time limit in responding to the above, but I am keen to hear from every club. Please send comments to the League Secretary (nathan.batchelor@junleague.com).
- If you have any news stories, please let me have them, so that I can include them on the League website.
- I have put an information sheet in the League Info area on the League Website (www.junleague.com). The sheet answers the most frequently asked questions I receive, so I hope you find it a useful tool – please make sure all your managers read it.
- Please remember all results have to be reported by 6pm on Sunday evening. Please send all the results to results@junleague.com and League Cup/Trophy results must also be emailed to cupresults@junleague.com A number of people are emailing results to the League Secretary, which prevents the other people who access the results@junleague.com email address from viewing the results.
- A reminder that the up-to-date contact details for all managers can be found on the League website (www.junleague.com) in the League Info area.
- All club secretaries are reminded that when they have received a standard match card fine i.e. no sporting points they must contact the age group registrar with the missing details (as well as pay the fine).
