Change in South Division

Sally Leavitt reports: “We’ve had disappointing news in the South Division.  The Corner Pin have decided to withdraw.  I have therefore unpicked the results of their matches against the Abbey A and the Royal Oak.  This leaves all three divisions with 11 teams in each.”

This unpicking will be reflected in the Week Three results now on the website.

2009/10 Season Started Wednesday 14th October

Members of the League in their pubs about the county enjoyed a cracking start to the season.

Fans of litotes had a not unenjoyable commencement to the season.

Fans of matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs,  and of former football grounds, found their interests melded into one.

AGM Decisions

At the AGM on September 9th it was agreed to adopt the new three – 12 teams in each – divisions.  There are minor changes to the composition of the divisions which will be notified later.

However, the proposal to create 6 mini-leagues after Christmas was not agreed.  Therefore as usual  we will each play 11 matches home and away in each division.

Because we are increasing the number of matches by 4 during the season, the subscription has to be increased to cover this cost, but I am pleased to tell you that the subscription will only rise by £5 to £65 for the full rate and £60 reduced rate if paid (normally) at or by the AGM.  However, because of the uncertainty until the AGM of the new format being adopted, I wasn’t able to inform you of the increase until I knew it would be needed. Therefore, I am extending the payment date by which you may pay the reduced rate of £60, to be received by me, to Saturday 26^th September.

Because we do not have to get the first half of the season finished by Christmas to enable the setting up of the mini-divisions, it was also decided to delay, by one week, the beginning of the season thus giving Tim more time to get the fixture lists prepared.  The season will  commence on Wednesday 14^th October

Please make cheques payable to DPQL and write the name of your pub on the reverse, sending them to Treasurer Sally Levitt’s home address.

Margaret Woolley

“More sad news to impart – those of you who knew her will be sorry to hear that Margaret Woolley, of the Traveller’s Rest at Kilburn, died this week.  She was a stalwart member of the League and served on the committee for many years.

I understand the funeral is on Monday 20th Sept.

If you require more information please contact Dee John”.

2009 AGM Announced

The Annual General Meeting of the DPQL will take place on Wednesday  9th September at the Labour Club, Charnwood Street, Derby at 8pm.

See the Fixtures page to read the detailed proposals which include Tim Ainsworth’s contact details.

Please let Tim, County Match Secretary, have responses in writing or electronically before that date.  As he has said, “The issues are far too complex to be decided to everyone’s satisfaction on the night of the AGM”.
