Since then, I have received numerous comments both for and against, and while I appreciate everyone's efforts, it is time that we make some decisions. When we began this process, we agreed that it should be an open process, with as many clubs and individuals taking part in the discussions as reasonably possible. We have circulated each alternative that we felt had a chance of being accepted with the understanding that the members of the subcommittee would take it back to their constituents for discussion and feedback. This has taken place and I would like to thank each of you for your assistance. We have come to the point, however, where any further discussion becomes circular and repetitive.
Decisions have to be made and they have been.
After reviewing this final draft with the Branch Presidents, I am confident that this proposal will serve us well next season. I should remind everyone that this is a one-year proposal, meant to address the concerns raised about the previous schedule. Nothing is written in stone - other leagues will be examined, other unions contacted and with that information, this new committee will propose a course of action to follow in the future. All three divisions will play a double round-robin home and away. The Bardon Division will also have midweek games against the EADP team.
