AGM Agenda

Earlier this week Graham sent a copy of the agenda to all captains/team representatives however please see the link above or the documents tab for a copy.

Team Registration Form

Please see above the team registration form for the 2024/25 season. I will also send a copy of in both excel and PDF format to every captain and will bring hard copies to the AGM with me should you require one.

Please note the preference is for this to be sent back in excel format as it is easier to load the data onto the website.

League, Team Handicap & Team Championship - £60.00
League & Team Handicap - £55.00
League & Team Championship - £55.00

Many thanks

Gary Tatlock

Earlier this week Dave Newton provided me with the details for Gary's funeral which are as follows.

Monday 1st July 2024
12:40pm - Walton Lea Crematorium
Followed at Grappenhall & Thelwall British Legion

Dave has asked if any players within the league are attending, could they please take their cue as they are looking to give him a cue salute. Please could you confirm to Dave if this is the case so he can gauge numbers and confirm more details

AGM & Presentation

Firstly, please accept my apologies that we haven't published a date for the AGM and presentation night as of yet. This usually takes place in June however the last few months have been very full on with the arrival of my daughter and I wanted to take a break from league duties to enjoy the first few months of her life after the season finished as its something I wouldn't get back.

I am going to be speaking with Graham & Danny this week to confirm a date which will be in July. This will be published ASAP and will take place in July.

As always, each team looking to participate in the 2024/25 season will need at least one member to attend and all teams and individuals who were successful in the 2023/24 season will need to attend to collect trophies and winnings.

At present, we have only received one proposal for a rule change that has been sent to us in writing. If you would like to submit a proposal, then this needs to be sent by email to either Pat, Danny or Graham before the end of June.

There are a few operational changes, costs and potential competiton format changes that will be discussed at the AGM so it is important that a representative for each team attends.

The agenda will be sent out to all captains prior to the AGM so they can review with their team and discuss.

League Sponsorship

From next season we are looking for the league to have some sponsorship so we can generate more funds which will provide us opportunities to increase prize money for each competition and potentially provide teams and clubs with equipment they require.

Every other amateur league I can think of has sponsorship and I feel that as a league this is something we are lacking on which will help us going forward

League & Divisional Sponsorship Individual Competitions (Individual Handicap, Merit & Senior) Team Competitions (Team Handicap & Championship) Multi player Competitions (Pairs & Three Man)

If this is something that you or your business may be interested in doing then please can you please get in touch or notify us at the AGM so we can discuss further.

If anyone has any questions in the mean time then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks
Pat Wisedale

                                                                                                                                                   


Tuesday 11th June 2024

Gary Tatlock

The league saddened to hear the news that Gary Tatlock has sadly passed away earlier today.

Gary had played in the league for over 40 years mainly representing Grappenhall & Thelwall Britsh Legion as well as Grappenhall Ex-servicemens in recent years.

On a personal level, I played with Gary for GESM A from 2015-2023 before he moved back to GTBL at the start of last season. As many of you know, Gary was a top player but more importantly he was a superb person and company to have on a Thursday evening. It was a pleasure to have him as a team-mate over the years.

His dry sense of humour and personality will be greatly missed by current and ex-team mates as well as friends within the league.

His fellow team mate and close friend Dave Newton will provide me with the funeral arrangements in due course once they have been confirmed.

Our thoughts are with his family and close friends at this time.
