There are no plans to formulate a division for season 2009/ b As per item 6d. 5/ TREASURERS REPORT (PAUL BASTON) With Paul being absent there was nothing to report. 6/ COMPETITION SECRETARY S REPORT (BOB RASHBROOK) In his absence a report from the Competition Secretary was read out: a) Confirming what the Chairman had said at the AGM in July in that if there is no replacement for me by the 5th April 2009 the Committee will start winding things down. Apart from the Chairman and I resigning at the last League Management Committee meeting both Malcolm and Sarah Harding indicated that they will also be vacating their positions. Recent correspondence from the Treasurer, Paul Baston also suggested that he may not be continuing. b) In the case that the League is still in existence next season would Clubs prefer that League Council meetings for the Women s Section be called as and when the need arises. The general consensus of the meeting was that they should remain. 7/ REGISTRATIONS SECRETARY S REPORT Absent 1

3 8/ REFEREES SECRETARY S REPORT (RUSSELL BROOKS) a) Russell said that 90% of matches have been covered but concerned that some Referees had let Clubs down, however the Clubs need to play their part in improving this by confirming their games with the appointed Referee ASAP. b) Have two Referees from the far reaches of Sussex but none local to Club on certain Sundays so we have to use those given to us by the Central Appointments Secretary. c) It is unlikely that the League will have enough Match Officials to cover our Women s League Challenge Cup Semi- Finals. Will have a better idea when in receipt of appointments from the Central Appointments Secretary. d) In general the standard of sportsmanship has been good although we have received two marks of 5. e) The question was asked do Referees get fined?. The answer to that is no but action can be taken against them if the Clubs go through the correct procedures in informing the appropriate persons. f) One Club present said they were unaware that they had to confirm the fixture with the Referee. 9/ FIXTURE SECRETARY S REPORT (PAUL PRESTON) a) Paul said he was fairly happy with how things were going and asked Clubs to let him know ASAP as possible when their matches are called off. 10/ RESULTS/PRESS SECRETARY S REPORT Absent 11/ ASSISTANT SECRETARY Absent 12/ ANY OTHER BUSINESS None 11) CHAIRMAN OF MEETING CLOSING REMARKS (CHRIS COOPER) The Chairman thanked those for attending and hoped they have a save journey home.

(Those not present will be fined under League Rule 4(F)) 1/ APOLOGIES Brian Shacklock, Maria Somes; AFC Worthing Divas Girls; Ferring Youth Girls; Patcham United Girls; Predators Tigers Girls and Worthing Rebels Youth Girls 2/ CHAIRMAN OF MEETING OPENING REMARKS (CHRIS COOPER) The Chairman opened the meeting by welcoming all too meeting, reminded them to sign the attendance sheet and turn off or put their mobiles in silent mode. The Chairman said he would like to highlight two points and thanked Paul Preston for his sterling work during the month of November in having to re-arrange so many fixtures. He also thanked the clubs for their patience in what was a difficult month. Thanks were also passed to the Competition Secretary in getting fines down by about 40% from last season. Although he didn t have the exact figures to hand anyone wishing to see them only has to contact him. 3/ APPROVE MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY 17TH DECEMBER 2008 These were accepted and signed as correct by the Chairman 4/ MATTER ARISING THERE FROM Any issues would have been dealt with throughout the past season. 5/ TREASURER S REPORT Absent 6/ COMPETITION SECRETARY S REPORT (BOB RASHBROOK) a) The Secretary said that the fine system is working well even though he has had his critics, some saying that he is too abrupt or cynical with fines. The Secretary said that enough information had gone out to Clubs either by or via the Weekly News Sheets. He said the League Rules state that fines must be paid on or before 14 days, he stated that within these 14 days there are two Sundays, so another two days are added making it 16. If fines are not received by the stipulated date then he issues the following up fine, normally three days are the said stipulated date, thus a Club has in fact 19 days to pay the original fine. He has had to send out suspension notices to Clubs for non-payment of fines but fortunately the Clubs have paid their debts in time. b) Any Club wishing to put any rule changes in for Season 2010/1011 can do so providing it is laid out correctly. Clubs will be sent out a reminder next year on how to do this. c) League Challenge Cup Finals Crawley Down FC and Palatine Park (Worthing) are the venues for this years fines. As yet no decision has been made regarding the Under 18 Cup Final, a warning it could be midweek. d) The Secretary said that there were items on the Online Shopping, DSA Barriers are for sale and it is hoped within the next few weeks to have other items on there. 1

5 7/ REGISTRATIONS SECRETARY S REPORT (BOB RASHBROOK) I think this season has gone well, hopefully the good work put in by Malcolm Harding over the previous two seasons has continued and Paul Preston s input during the summer months has made life a lot easier. Personally I think I have been more than fair with Clubs. As yet I have not refused a registration although Clubs have been asked to correct details, and to their credit the response has been very good. I think through the postal dispute Clubs rallied and made things a lot easier and it was appreciated that some travelled some distance to hand deliver or collect. As for the Under 18/16 there was some difficulties in the first month regarding Clubs not receiving their forms back in time for their opening fixtures or in some cases fixtures. This will improve next season I m sure. Ian Gillam (Eastbourne Girls) asked whether the League had received a decision about girls reaching 16 and their playing for an Adult Section side. The Chairman said the League had received a reply from the SCFA and it would be dealt with at the next League Management Committee meeting. 8/ REFEREES SECRETARY S REPORT (RUSSELL BROOKS) Matches are being covered and it is hoped that the League can also appoint Referees to Cup Semi-Finals. 9/ FIXTURE SECRETARY S REPORT (PAUL PRESTON) Girl s League Challenge Cup Draws: (See: Appendix Cup Draws) 10/ ANY OTHER BUSINESS a) Under 10 Football: Clubs were asked if there was an interest in having an Under 10 section for Season 2010/2011. Unfortunately the response was not favourable but a section will still be included on Application Form for Season 2010/ / CHAIRMAN OF MEETING CLOSING REMARKS (CHRIS COOPER) The Chairman thanked those for attending and hoped they have a save journey home and wished all A Merry Christmas. The Chairman closed the Meeting at: 20.30hrs Signed: Date: 2

The Fixture Secretary said that the Registration Forms had been available since early June and there was plenty of time to get the girls registered. He went on to say that as for commencing the season on 6th September, this was normal practice for local Leagues and with our climate you can never be sure what to expect.

14 ANNUAL REPORT 2009/2010 This is my first annual report as Chairman of the league and what a year it s been. Yet again the weather has played its part, something that seems to now be an annual occurrence! This disruption brings its own challenges, particularly to our fixtures secretary Paul Preston and I would like to thank him for his sterling efforts in ensuring the competition remained on track and the difficult decisions he has had to make. The clubs and teams have experienced a season of attrition and I would like to thank everyone for doing their utmost to keep the momentum, playing matches when and where possible and ensuring players spirits are maintained. There have been many instances of co-operation and this is the spirit we should continue to embrace when faced with extreme circumstances. It is my pleasure to congratulate all our Divisional Winners, Challenge Cup Winners, Award Winners, and Runners-Up in all Competitions. The cup finals have benefited from the use of a number of grounds this season and I would like to thank everyone involved for their help and assistance enabling us to hold our cup finals at Crawley Down and Peacehaven & Telscombe Football Clubs along with Palatine Park (Worthing Town Girls FC). We have had nothing but positive feedback on all the venues and the facilities provided. On your behalf I also thank all of our League Officers and Committee Members who give their time to make this League one that is growing in stature year on year. Deputy Chairman, Audra Ryder, who has been a great source of balance and objective opinion. Paul Baston our Treasurer, who regrettably is standing down this season after giving the league his time and expertise since its creation in His knowledge on finance and rules matters will be missed. Competition Secretary Bob Rashbrook, who has completed his first season as a contractor and I am sure all will agree his efforts have gone far beyond our expectations and the time he has been able to give assisting clubs to avoid penalty has been welcomed throughout. Brian Shacklock, continues to ensure the U16, U18 and Ladies Registrations were completed. Russell Brooks, as our Referee s Secretary has done another superb job this season providing referees to all the games that were possible. Emma Howard as the League Welfare Officer continues to provide a valuable and balanced view to an important area for girl s football and is a great asset. Not forgetting grateful thanks to our remaining Committee Members/Club Representatives who do a great job representing our Member Clubs at meetings. Next season will see them taking an increasing role as your liaison to the League Committee and more details will be given at the AGM. Finally, enjoy the summer break, the World Cup and all the emotion and excitement this will provide. I look forward to seeing you all next season when, hopefully, the weather may be kinder well it has to be one day! Yours in Sport Chris Cooper
