Apologies: All other teams in the WSFA.

2. To decline the request from Chelmsford H.C. to join in 2012-13, based on distance.

3. To accept Southampton Cockburns H.C. to join in 2012-13.

4. To design the fixtures 2012-13 on top half and bottom half of Alliance.

Based on end of season positions the top half will play each other twice and the bottom half will play each other twice. This was done successfully some years ago.

6. Special thanks were recorded to George Oliver (Wokingham) for his creativity on the website.

9. Rob Kenwrick tendered his resignation as Assistant Organiser to take effect from the end of the 2012 – 2013 season (unless someone wishes to take over the role beforehand. Many thanks to him for all his fantastic enthusiasm and attention to detail. This means the Committee is looking for someone to replace him.
