provisional intention to withdraw a team
from the Competition on completion of
its fixtures and fulfilment of all other
obligations to the Competition must
notify the General Secretary in writing
by the 31st May or be liable to a fine
not exceeding £5.00. All clubs wishing
to remain in membership of the
Competition for the following Season
must confirm their intention to do so,
in writing, to the General Secretary by
the 31st May.
b. A club shall not be
allowed to withdraw any or all of its
Teams from the Competition after the
Annual General Meeting for the following
season. Any Club infringing this rule
shall be liable to a fine not exceeding
£25.00 per team, and shall also be
liable for its share of any call which
may be made under
Rule 5b.
c. The membership for
the coming season having been decided at
a Special General Meeting held for that
purpose not earlier than April 30th, or
later than June 30th, or at the Annual
General Meeting held not later than June
30th, the Competition shall have the
right, irrespective of other provisions
in this rule, to refuse to permit a Club
to withdraw its team or teams, in order
to join another Competition, and may
hold the Club to its engagements.
d. In the event of a
Member Club which is an un-incorporated
association withdrawing or disbanding it
shall be immediately liable to discharge
all its financial and other obligations
to the Competition. In the event that
any such obligation remains
un-discharged after a period of
twenty-one (21) days then such
obligation shall be met by the then
current Club Members, excluding those
under statutory school leaving age.
Until a Member’s pro rata obligation is
discharged in full the Member shall not
be allowed to participate in the
Competition, which may apply to the
Club’s Parent County Association for a
suspension order.
