Annual General Meeting
- Club Motions for AGM on 1st June
A total of fifteen motions
have been submitted to date for consideration at the Annual General Meeting
on Tuesday 1st June in the Ardboyne Hotel Navan starting at 8pm. The one
that will probably receive most attention is for the fourth time in twelve
seasons a proposal to change the duration of the playing Season to somewhat
in line with the League of Ireland. Two years ago it narrowly failed to
gain the requird two thirds majority by only two votes after an intensive
campaign of lobbying. It is unlikely to get close to that level this time
around as the same level of background work does not appeared to have taken
place to date.

player eligibility. Each Club must nominate one responsible official who,
if called upon would make themselves available to apply a spot check if
requested to do so. No designated official would be called upon more than
once in any given season to carry out the task on behalf of the MDL

their name and accompany this with a passport photo id at the start of the
season on the player registration card. This to be held on file by the registrar.

10. Revert back to the old rule regarding promotion and relegation, teams
that finish 1st and 2nd in their division are automatically promoted Teams
that finish last and 2nd from bottom are automatically relegated. This rule
to apply to all divisions including reserve divisions.

11 We strongly propose the league introduce a new type match card, which
would
included an extra panel for players signatures to be recorded, which could
be checked and verified in all cases of dispute, during season,
Proposed By: Duleek
12 All pitches to be inspected before season starts and then regular spot
checks to be carried out throughout the season.
Proposed By: Navan Town
13 We further propose that the league Committie consider electing a newassistant
Registrar, to assist with what is a huge task overall, which would include
up to date list of bookings, suspensions, etc. and perhaps in time the development
of a new data base for all registered players within league, to included
photo I.D, signatures, etc.
Proposed By: Duleek
14 The new season would be to begin the League as normal in early to mid
August with the two rounds, or so of the shields, one Sunday & one midweek,
as this year and then begin the league a week later. The league is to continue
as normal up to mid December (w/e 19th this year) and then we close for
a period not exceeding six weeks. The period of the close down, which divisions
and competitions should be suspended, will depend of the progress to date
of all concerned.
Proposed By: MDL Committee 2009/10
15 In certain circumstances that may arise from time to time. The Committee
reserve the right to deviate away from whatever criteria is in place for
promotion/relegation to solve an issue with a particular Division that may
not be in line with the format of the majority of divisions in place. In
such instances the format must be made known to effected teams prior to
the start of the season.
