Issue 35

Welcome to this weeks e-newsletter.

**NEW LEAGUE NOTICES**

*Clubs should have received by email, next seasons League application form.

*With teams now starting to play midweek matches, please remember to email the result over to result@junleague.com within 24 hours so that we can try to keep the league tables up to date.

*The League is looking for a sponsor for next season. If you can assist please contact Matt Hardman (League Chairman)

*The deadline to submit domestic rule change proposals is April 1^st. All proposed rule changes need to be seconded by a fellow member club and sent to the League Secretary.

*Under 7s & Under 8s – are reminded that if you are not playing scheduled “league fixtures” then you must have your friendly fixture sanctioned with the County FA.  Also, players must only play in one match – not both as this is a breach of the FA allowed time allowance per day. Finally, only registered players (those with League Registration cards) can play, otherwise this invalidates your insurance.

*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."

*Reminder no player registration cards no game. Clubs are signing the match card to say that they have checked the opposition match cards and that the match card contains the correct information. If, during, or after the game, it is found out that a player does not have or has an incorrect registration card, both managers will be charged with a breach of competition rules.

*Charter Standard Clinics: To help support clubs obtain Charter Standard also to help the clubs that will be going through the new Charter Standard annual renewal process or to help clubs obtain the kitemark standard: http://www.junleague.com/viewarticle.aspx?id=1741

*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. REMEMBER THE HOME TEAM IS FINED £5 PER MISSING OR LATE RESULT.

*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.

*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.

*Details regarding the Charter Standard annual health check are now on the League website (http://www.junleague.com/viewarticle.aspx?id=1547). If the deadline for the health check is not met, then clubs will lose this award.
