It is my pleasure to introduce the 2007 Handbook, having been elected as league secretary at the AGM earlier this year. Our league continues to thrive and, we expect, it will continue to do so into the future. The signs are good. However, as always, this can only happen, if people make it happen. We are building up a good number of people, who are willing and able to help to make the league run. It is good to see new people willing to come forward. The more there are of us, the easier it will be for us all, so please think about helping out, next time that we are asking for greater involvement.

Apart from the weather, last year’s cricket went very well. Please see the league web site at www.nycl.org.uk for more information. The league’s most obvious achievement last year was the creation of an under 10 division, which was very successful. We look forward to its continuing to thrive and grow. The overall strength of the league was pleasingly demonstrated in the victories of our u-13 and u-15 representative teams in their competitions against the other leagues.

There are two new major developments this year. Firstly, by popular demand, we have reinstated an under-17 league. Let us wish it every success in its two main purposes: to provide cricket for those who are not yet able to participate in regular senior cricket and to enable the team spirit from earlier years another couple of years, in which to thrive.

Even more significant, is the inception of the first NYCL Girls’ competition. The impetus for this has come from the girls themselves and from their coaches and managers. It is a great credit to the clubs and the players in our area that there are now enough clubs with enough players to form a viable league. We are sure that it will evolve rapidly over the next few years. It will be a self-organising section of the NYCL but will operate with the full support under the NYCL umbrella.

A third development is the introduction of an under-11 cup, which will provide some extra much needed competition. Those who were at the AGM will be aware that, as always, getting the right balance, between not enough cricket and too many games to fit in, is always difficult. Dates for the cup finals and the u-11 league play-off will be announced as soon they have been set. We have done our best. Let us hope that the weather does not mess up our well-laid plans.

Please remember to read the rules, if you were not present at the AGM, and probably even if you were! Amongst other matters, the AGM agreed changes to the rules regarding wides and no balls in pairs cricket; changes to the rules regarding the use of penalty runs; and introduced a “retire at 50” rule for u-15 and u-17 cricket. Results should be e-mailed to the relevant results secretary: if you need a proforma for results, or scoresheets for pairs matches, please contact one of us.

Have a good season. Best wishes, on behalf of the league committee,

Rob Kirkwood, March 2007. RESULTS SECRETARIES

The League shall be governed by a Management Committee, comprising of the Chairperson, General Secretary, Treasurer, Divisional Secretaries, and Youth Representative Team Managers. The Management Committee shall be vested with full powers of actions in matters affecting the League, and its decision will be final. All Officers will be elected at the General Meeting. Proposals for rule changes must be forwarded to the General Secretary, in writing, by 31st December. 5. Subscriptions. The annual subscription to the League and K.O Cups fees will be as determined at the Annual General Meeting. Subscriptions are to be paid on application to the League. Membership of the League shall become effective when subscriptions are paid in full. 6. Finance / Custody of Assets. The Treasurer shall keep an account of all income and expenditure and shall submit accounts at the Annual General Meeting. The Banking Account(s) shall be in the name of the League and withdrawals made in the name of the League on the sole signature of the Treasurer, General Secretary or Chairman. Auditors shall be elected annually - they shall not be members of the elected Management Committee. An application to the League, at any age division, will also be taken as an application to any League Cup competition taking place for that age group. [Please note that the u-13 and u-15 county/national cup competitions are run completely independently] 7. Dissolution. Should the League be dissolved all funds in hand after settlement of all debts shall be donated to the Nottinghamshire Cricket Board Youth Committee. All trophies of the League will be given to Nottinghamshire Cricket Board Youth Committee. 8. Any deficit of the league shall be born equally between member clubs at the date of the deficit. 9. Each club is responsible for its own insurance liability.

10. The Management Committee will arrange the initial fixture list for each season. If a fixture is rearranged and advised to the Divisional Secretary before 25 th April then the new fixture date will be regarded as the original. Should a fixture rearranged after 25 th April fail to be played for whatever reason, the team originally cancelling the fixture will forfeit the points, except when both teams confirm that the failure to play is for wholly weather-related reasons, in which case the points shall be shared. If any cancellation takes place within 72 hours of the scheduled fixture, for reasons other than the weather, the game will be automatically forfeit. However the fixture may be rearranged with the consent of the opposition. A game in which a start is not possible or which is started but not completed, due to the weather, shall be rearranged, not played, within 7 days by mutual agreement. The relevant Divisional Secretary should be informed of any games cancelled and the rearranged date. All league fixtures must be played in good time, normally before 20 th August, to allow arrangements to be put in place for the season’s divisional finals. The relevant Divisional Secretary or, if necessary, the full Management Committee will decide all disputes.

11. Within these rules, the term “division” means an entire age group within the overall Youth League structure; the term “league” applies to any league within an age division. 12. Player Qualification. No player shall play for more than one team in the same age division without the express permission of the Divisional Secretary, irrespective of whether the relevant teams are in different leagues within that age division. A breach of this rule may result in the deduction of points. 13. The & Wales Cricket Board strongly recommend that all clubs with junior and youth members should appoint a Child Welfare Officer. Each club is responsible for ensuring that team managers, coaches and other volunteer helpers have undergone required CRB Checking.
