NOTICE  OF  A.G.M.

The  AGM  for the forthcoming  2011/12  season will be held in the  Talbot on
 Monday, 19th September 2011, start time 8.00pm. 

The agenda will be Election of Officials, Statement of Accounts, Any Other Business.  

Any correspondence concerning the forthcoming season should be sent to the Secretary, c/o the Talbot, no later than Monday, 29th August 2011. (update: No correspondence has been received)

A clarification of the rules regarding baulk and the baulk line is being made by the Committee as follows:-

To replace and combine rules 17 & 18:-

The baulk line must be in front of the leather baulk area and be 18” long as defined by the two end and centre spots. A ball may  be placed anywhere along the baulk line. Discretion by the referee should be given in deference to ‘ home custom ‘ as to the placing of a ball in front of, or behind  the baulk line.

To replace first four sentences of rule 19:-

Once a ball is struck from the area of the baulk line, it is in play. A ‘ feathered ‘ ball doing  so may  be played again at the ( opposing ) referee’s discretion or opposing captain’s discretion  if the referee is on the same side as the player. All balls are in play until  they jump off the table or  hit the  wood above the cushion. All balls crossing or touching the leather baulk are to be off. Where the whole of a ball is behind the baulk line, it is ‘off’. Should the black ball jump off, touch, or go over the leather baulk area, or fall wholly behind the baulk line, the player forfeits the remaining balls, the score at that point to count.
