Item / Action
Item 1 –Chairman’s Opening Remarks
  1. The Chairman began the meeting by reasserting that the two teams from the LSAFL that have been suspended by the RAF FA are suspended from all football. This includes players playing for civilian teams and teams proceeding on tours.
2. The OICs from the units concerned are to inform the LSAFL as the situation develops and are to advise the LSAFL when they are in a position to resume football so the LSAFL can confirm the situation with the RAF FA.
Item 2 – Minutes of Previous Meeting
3.The Minutes from the previous meeting were presented to the meeting; the minutes were accepted as a true record.
Item 3 – Matters arising from the Previous Meeting
4.The Chairman confirmed that RAF Cottesmore had paid the outstanding league fees and therefore the grant for the tour had been approved. However subsequently, following the news that RAF Cottesmore have been suspended from all football the grant would be withheld until such time that the suspension is lifted. If the suspension is not lifted by the time the tour takes place the grant will be withdrawn.

Item 4 – Fixtures Secretary’s Report

5. The Fixtures Sec advised the meeting that following the suspension of two teams by the RAF FA, the league had awarded fixtures to these teams opponents; this would continue until those units were eligible to play again.
6. The meeting was also reminded that the fixtures from the week starting 21 Mar were rearranged following the short notice operational requirements. The decision was taken against a backdrop of uncertainty with the intent of providing parity to all teams potentially affected by the Operational Tempo in order not to be unfairly disadvantaged. With the Operational Tempo continuing as the season draws to a conclusion, all teams are requested to make every effort to play the fixtures on the publicised rearranged date.
7.The meeting then discussed the Marham vs Waddington fixture that was cancelled on 2 Mar. The meeting felt that as no appeal against the awarding of a 5:0 score line to Marham had been received from RAF Waddington the issue was closed and the result would stand.
8. The Fixtures Sec concluded his report by informing the meeting that all fixtures would be completed by 4 May and there would be no extension to this date. RAF Wittering had become the new Champions of Division One although Division Two would be decided in the final two fixtures.

Item 5 –Appointment Secretary’s Report

9. The Appointments Sec advised the meeting that he had nothing to report.

Item 6 – Treasurers Report

10.In the absence of the Treasurer, the Chairman presented the report to the meeting. The report is attached at Annex A..

11. The Appointments Sec advised the meeting that the planning for the Cup Finals was all in hand; the post match food had been ordered and he had been advised that the venue(The Vic Couzens Stadium, Stamford, PE9 2JS) would be available from 1230 hrs.
12. The Appointments Sec requested that teams were to line up by the changing rooms 15 minutes prior to kick off to allow an orderly entrance onto the pitch and to facilitate the presentation of the players to the VIPs and the RESPECT handshake.
13. The Chairman stated that the changing facilities would be made available for teams involved in the Div Two Cup Final from 1330 hrs and for teams involved in the Div One Cup Final from 1730. Food would be provided following the completion of both fixtures at 1700 hrs and 2100 hrs respectively.
14. The meeting then discussed the request from RAF Coningsby to play a Reserve Team player in the Div One Cup Final.. After reviewing the information available the meeting decided that in accordance with LSAFL rule 8e the player was not Cup-Tied and was therefore eligible to play.

Item 7 – Any Other BusinessDate of Next Meeting
