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.
