REFEREES SECRETARY
Richard’s father has had a fall and broken his collar bone, as a result Richard is spending much of his time at his Dads home looking after him, but there is no internet connection available. Richard is trying to get home every few days to deal with outstanding emails etc, but if matters are urgent please telephone or text him.
FIXTURE SECRETARY – PROBLEMS WITH EMAILS ETC
The Fixture Secretary’s email problem has been sorted, normal service is resumed.
BATTERSEA IRONSIDES SPORTS GROUND
With construction work started this week being carried out at the ground which is expected to last into February 2018, there will be limited parking space available in the ground, due to contractors equipment and materials etc, being stored. Parking will have to be in nearby streets which may be difficult at times so when playing away or refereeing there please ensure you give yourselves enough time to find somewhere to park, to avoid games kicking off late.
WARNING
Some Clubs may remember the name STAN CHURCHILLMANN, the Secretary of Tooting & Mitcham Wanderers, who were looking to join this league after playing in the Middlesex County League, and who several years ago caused a few problems by trying to get involved in matters relating to the league which were nothing to do with him. Tooting & Mitcham Wanderers failed to get started this season and he has been seen around other Clubs for no apparent reason, he has now been placed under Sine Die suspensions by SCFA for Football debts, so is banned from All Football activities and should not be entertained if he turns up at your game.
NLS MOVEMENT REMINDER
Below is the contents of an email received from the FA regarding the NLS and possible movements at the end of the 2017/18 season:
“Clubs are reminded that it may be necessary at the end of the current Season to consider the lateral movement of clubs between leagues at the various Steps within the National League System. Whilst it is too early to be more specific at this stage this is advance warning that this could occur and that your club may be one of the clubs that will be moved. Owing to the NLS restructure, it is likely that there will be more clubs than usual that will be laterally moved in the System. We would remind you that provision for lateral movement is included in the current Regulations for the Operation of the National League System.”
