18 JUNE – League AGM and Clubs must check their Club details – The League intends to hold its AGM by Zoom on Monday 28 June starting at 7:30pm – ALL CLUBS MUST BE REPRESENTED. We are sorry for the short notice, but we have been sorting out a few things and are aware that some Leagues have yet to complete their fixtures for the 20-21 season. The proposed constitution of the League is set out in the Clubs section, with Handsworth Inn Pub back in the Premier Division after Redmires resigned, Nether Green and Wadsley Jack Athletic up to Division 1 and the two new clubs, Red Lion and Water Tower in Division Two. This is all dependent on no unexpected withdrawals from the League and clubs agreement at the AGM.

Prior to that, clubs MUST check their details in the Clubs section of the League website and confirm to Keith that they are still correct, or notify him of any changes known at the moment. In particular, it is important that clubs confirm where they are playing and who they will be sharing with in the 2021-22 season as this information is needed for the Sunday Fixtures meeting with the County FA and the other Sunday Leagues. You must do this ASAP and no later than 27 June if possible. If you have any changes after that date, you must notify Keith ASAP.
