Falkirk District Pool League - FDPL

The Railway Tavern have called an EGM if required for Wednesday 25th September. Details of the letter received are thus:

Section 40 of the constitution states that a maximum of two players are allowed to transfer to an existing team. The Railway are looking to add a small amendment which is, unless under exceptional circumstances.

This has come about due to the Mill Inn folding and 4 off their players wanting to stay together and play with the Railway. The Mill Inn have obviously only played one game and have decided that they would not be able field a team on a regular basis.

As the committee do not have the power to add this amendment to the constitution the EGM will need to take place, unless, the members of the league do not have any objections to this being added. Can all team reps please reply with their thought on the matter asap.

Thanks
Scott

Who are the four players?

I know it probably wont make much difference in terms of joining the Railway but would be best to be clear about it in this and future scenarios.

I spoke to Andy at length regarding this as he wanted the commitee to just change the constitution regarding this matter, we as the commitee do not have the power to do this even though he says they have done many times before and that he had my own support as the last thing we want to do is lose players.

I will run it by Lairdy but this is a no brainer as far as I am concerned.

Agreed. The rule is most likely present in the constitution to prevent anyone getting "cute" and folding on purpose /joining someone else for whatever reasons.

Clearly not the case here.
Its only the 2nd week of the league.

Crown has no issues with the above - if anyone objects (and i dont think that they will) and an EGM takes place - I'm pretty sure it will be a waste of everyones time as I'm sure it will get pretty much unanimous votes in favour of.

Might be worth getting Iona to talk all the folk she has contacts for (AGAIN!) and only ask for a reply if anyone has any objections.

Lets put this to bed quick so the players affected can represent their new team next week.

EVEN IF THERE ARE ANY OBJECTIONS - TWO OF THEM CAN SIGN WITH THE TAVERN IMMEDIATELY AS THE MILL HAS FOLDED.

If your voting on changing the constitution I think you should say what your voting for.
So if the rule is changed is it to be scrapt altogether so that any amount of players can move or is it to be changed from 2 players to 4.
Just to keep things clear.
Cheers :)

Brian the vote is to add unless under exeptional circumstances to the existing rule. Which means that the committee can ok the transfer of more than 2 people

Will that be another team with 20 odd players?

I joke 20 and 6 turn up.
Scott dont you mean "the vote is to add under exeptional circumstances".
Your statement doesn't make sense to me.
Anyhow why bother why not scrap it.
The less rules the better IMO.

Under the circumstances - probably for the best - why waste everyone's time.

Think the rule is fine Brian - with committee override for exceptional circumstances like this.
