Minutes		The minutes of last meeting & of the Finance
		Meeting were read and confirmed.

		The Secretary reported his attendance at the
		meeting of clubs convened by Blackpool
		and that whilst a proposal to regroup the
		clubs in the Subsidiary Competition was
		rejected it was felt that owing to unfore-
		seen circumstances the present grouping
		constituted a hardship on one of the groups
		and it was resolved that the members
		present recommend to their respective
		directorates that the following arrangement
		be adopted and Rule 8 (page 47) be
		amended to cover same:-
		"delete the words following "deducted" and
		substitute  "after which the balance shall
		"be divided into 2 equal parts; the home club
		"to retain one of such parts and the other to
		"be paid to a common fund and divided
		"equally amongst the 12 clubs (forming the
		"2 Lancashire groups) at the close of the
		"Competition."
		After discussing same it was resolved
		to support this arrangement.
