Request from Park Avenue Club - Re Payment to host clubs where Inter-club events are played.
Host Clubs should receive payment from WPA to cover costs incurred holding Interclub events. Clubs should be recompensed for providing tea, coffee, milk, food etc on these days. Also for terrain maintenance, and the use of the Club's facilities.
Graeme Morris moved that Clubs hosting Interclub events should receive a hosting fee for each day. Seconded by Claire Bradburn. Carried.
The Tournament Subcommittee is to clarify the 31 day rules especially around the November to February period.
