I understand many of you are wondering where we are regarding a restart, I now believe there are further considerations and discussion needed, a meeting of the committee is needed, I suggest 17/11 as I am not available till then, this needs to be a correctly organised meeting not a shouting match, we as a domino league are a small community, and need the support of all our members, the majority of which are in the over 50s and vulnerable group, some members are ready and eager, others are still very reluctant and want to hold off until after winter, some need to try and strengthen their teams, but that is very difficult in this climate, as a league we have sadly lost quite a number during this enforced break, some have passed away, some from Ill health, and some don't wish to play anymore for their own reasons, all in all I would estimate in excess of 30% of the league either are unable or unwilling to restart at this time, the question then turns to funding, the money currently held by the league belongs to all the league not part, also consider if you restart now without the teams that are not ready, they will be excluded until whatever comps you put in place are completed, probably in the region of 8 months or so, allowing for 5 bank holiday weeks, I understand this is not what some want to hear, but harsh reality, if anyone has any proposals or points they want raising can they please write them down and pop them in an envelope addressed to the committee, and drop off at the Clarry before Wednesday 17/11, thanks everyone stay safe and well
