ADMINISTRATION
Committee Meeting - 6th October 2020
Response to Covid-19 restrictions.
Membership year - As current ‘Rule of Six’ restrictions apply it is not possible to convene the AGM.
The committee agreed to freeze elections until next feasible annual event, when rotational elections would be held.
Waterloo membership year - Normally set for AGM/start of winter season.
It was agreed that ALL current 2019-20 player registrations be automatically extended to cover any feasible 2020-21 Waterloo Pool League season(s).
2019-20 Winter season - only half of the scheduled fixtures were completed prior to lock-down mid-March.
It was agreed that under current conditions (and with very little chance of any change to the situation - possibly not until next March at best), all un-played team fixtures should be considered cancelled - and that the 2019-20 League in its current format be abandoned.
Although our team fixtures are effectively binned, it was agreed that, (maintaining strict government guidelines), we could attempt to complete the 2019-20 Singles & Scotch Doubles knockout tournaments.
All remaining participants to be contacted about this possibility, and if enough were interested then we would make arrangements to complete them.
Moving Forward
Discussed possible ways to get the members involved in some hybrid 2020-21 season:
All very much subject to the outcome of ongoing government ‘circuit-breaker’ lockdown restrictions!

Moving Forward
Discussed possible ways to get the members involved in some hybrid 2020-21 season:
- Create a 3-man league (Golden Cue format) - 3 frames of 3 (satisfying the Rule of Six).
- Create a round-robin Singles league
