IMPORTANT NOTE:
The above Members are elected by the Clubs to represent their interests and views at Committee Meetings throughout each season. This can be achieved most effectively if Club Secretaries in each division channel their opinions and concerns through the appropriate Representative/s so that important matters are dealt with as they arise. For immediate and more urgent matters the normal course of corresponding with the Competition Secretary should always be followed. When Vacancies occur and remain unfilled, the Competition Secretary, on behalf of the Management Committee, can co-opt a Member(s) on to the Management Committee.
