At the meeting, much discussion took place over the rules of the NWF Leagues:
1. It was decided that clubs should ensure that players are aware of their responsibility to keep a current Handicap Card which should be presented at all league matches. If a player cannot produce a current Handicap Card, their captain is responsible for verifying the handicap claimed by the player. If the opposing captain wishes to contest this claimed handicap, they should write to the League Manager after the match, who will contact the player's club for confirmation. If any games have been played off the wrong handicap, they will be retrospectively conceded and the match result amended accordingly.
2. Bowdon's proposal to have bonus points removed from the A-League caused a stir and clubs want time to think about their decision; a postal/email vote will be made in a few weeks.

Liz Wilson retired as Federation Chairman and is replaced by Garry Wilson of Pendle; Peter Wilson retired as Federation Auditor and is replaced by Chris Slater of Chester.

The meeting finished at 12.00pm.
