New season underway
At the AGM all committee positions remained the same except for the Events co-ordinator and Averages co-ordinator. Bernie Bolt stepped down from both and Jack Walker was voted in to replace him. We ask that you give him the same respect and consideration you gave to his predecessor.
This will be the 33rd season of the League which was started back in 1989 by Dave Ward and Derek Farley.
The Thorverton Arms have joined the League and we look forward to meeting them all and hope they enjoy their season.
The New Inn have shifted venues and are now Morchard Club B. Some of the Plymouth Inn B team have joined up with two of the Mitre players and are now the Ship Inn B.
The Mitre team have withdrawn from the League.
The Plymouth Inn A have moved and are now the Mitre.
There are six new captains this season and we thank the outgoing captains for their service to the league.
Last season records.
