· Need to decide grace period of new clubs and their provision of referees – eg. When would we expect Littleport to be able to field a referee?
· Andy commented that to look a little more like a serious sports league that team colours should include consideration of the shorts that players wear aswell as the shirts. The committee agreed that where possible people should perhaps be encouraged to wear dark blue/black shorts/skirts.

Reclaiming money from Littleport start up.
· CKA is already supporting the new club but Lee wondered what other help in the form of reclaiming cost would be available such as hall costs.
· Andy to send email from Liam to Liz and Lee.
· Lee has also started forming links with Littleport Lions and Ely and Soham Colleges.
· Committee discussed what contributes to a feeder club and feeder league in the hope that may be we could avoid the 3rd division paying BKA fees. However the general consensus was that we at the moment would have to pay these fees. Ian to speak to BKA and see what we can get back from them for our money such as courses etc.
3rd Division Schedule
· Schedule can’t be completed, as Phoenix hasn’t provided home fixtures. However up to date schedule was issued and an amendment made. League is now underway.
· This will go ahead after Christmas in Jan/Feb.
· The pools will be randomly selected and teams made up of “Status Zero” players.
· Teams from other pools to ref pool games.
· Emailed contribution from Rob Taylor was distributed for information and feedback.
· Inter-area Cup. Juniors Under 15’s only likely for Central fixture. Cambridge Under 13’s are very interested in playing including Scotland if required.
· Dave Sheldon sent an email regarding another training trip to Holland for the CKA. This would ideally include juniors aswell. The idea was accepted as a good one and will be discussed at the next meeting in more depth to get the organisation going.
· Juniors Kit – Juniors need shirts to play in. Dave Sheldon may be able to get money from UK Fire and we may get money form grants but we can’t wait for this. Lee to look into costs etc to get things moving.
