After very careful planning by your committee, the brand new season has started, however after checking player registrations in each division of which 50% in each was randomly checked, we have found some discrepancies, if you are contacted by the League Secretary Donna Gibbs, please make every effort to clear these by or at the November League meeting.

We have guidelines for good reasons, our overall aim is to run the League and support teams and players as professionally as we can. The guidelines serve/support each and everyone of you to the best of our ability, we do understand at the start of the season can be manic with players moving teams etc. So if you are unsure if a player is registered please contact Donna in the first instance as after the first month we will be clamping down on offenders, please use this amnesty wisely and double check your players.

Our last point would be, if you are submitting a registration/additional or transfer form, please print clearly the full name of the player and get that player to sign the form using their usual signature. We will continue to randomly check forms and may reject forms if they do not comply. These players will not be able to play, unless we receive the completed form that complies with the above.

Player details on the original signing on form or any additional or player transfer forms should align with what name they play under, so the names could be matched, when using the official scorecards. The most important thing about match cards is that they must legible to read. Therefore names must be in full and printed and signed.


In an attempt to reduce our overheads, we have introduced an Email Information Service to provide members with monthly updates.
To help reduce costs, we would like members to subscribe to this Service. The email attachment will be identical to the book that team Captains/Secretaries have previously received by post, and will be available to all league members, not just Captains/Secretaries.
We fully understand that not everyone has access to the internet and email, so for those few teams the book will still be available by post.
Apart from the cost reduction, other advantages will be that the book will be available just a few days after the monthly league meeting, rather than the 11 days it now takes. Any mistakes that arise can be instantly corrected by sending a revised book. Any other information can be easily sent, eg, reminders of important dates such as league meetings and AGM's.
To add your name to the Service, simply send an email to bristolpoolleague(at)btinternet.com
Please include the word Pool in the subject line, and in the message box leave your name, team name(s), and whether you are Captain or Secretary of your team, or that you are just a playing member of your team(s). You will receive an email shortly after to confirm your inclusion in the Service.
