Mens Singles - Assembly Time ...ERROR			Jun 23rd
It's just come to our notice that the Singles heats on 10/07 are listed as "Assemble at Morris Clown @ 6:00pm".
Apologies - this should have read "7:30pm".
If anyone has been put off from entering on the basis of the assembly time, get in touch in the next 7 days and we'll add you to the entrants list.
Oh no - it's 'im again ......			Jun 19th
Some folks (Steve Pearce - Horseshoes) are just plain greedy
Time for another six..			Jun 7th
.. and this one is from Grayson Fisher of Carterton Social Club
First Sixes of the season			May 17th
Almost certainly the first, since it's in leg 1 - a happy Steve Pearce from the Horsehoes
Now a mystery six - how does this work ?			May 9th
Well done Danny Smith of Athletico Talbot
Maybe we'll give a prize for this - Committee members and players of this game are exempt from entering!
We don't acknowledge sixes scored in a beer leg - so look carefully at the scoreboard and explain why we've credited Danny with a six.
Write in with your explanation and we'll credit the first correct entry. (Will post the answer this time next month).
Log-in bug - NOW FIXED			May 9th
An odd bug has appeared in the log-in system. Instead of seeing the 'Welcome Barry of the Troutlets' message, you're getting what appears to be a new registration option.
Having said that, the navigation items on the left of the page are still working normally, so you should still be able to enter scores, register for competitions etc.
We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.
Beat the BYES !!			Apr 6th
We've all got byes this season, some regrettably more than others, but don't sit on your arses - oops - backsides - find a friend.
On the 'Documents' page is a chart called 'Friendlies' which lists available teams on both 8 A Side Round 1 and all League nights.
Some teams can play at home, others must find a venue. See what life is like in other sections.
Higher section teams - BE NICE!
Lower section teams - BE HAVE !

Six non-Committee teams were represented and a record 17 apologies received.

Minor Rule changes were presented. and can be viewed in the 'League' menu and as a PDF in the 'Documents' page.
No votable items were requested for the 13th consecutive year, and in the open forum we discussed the League catchment area

The Team Captain's Whats App group is to be consolidated and amongst other things to be used to encourage team photos this year.
