      Player Suspensions.

      At the March Committee meeting 2 players from Aston
      University – A. Vladimirov & S. Murray were suspended for 6 games. At present they have missed only 1 game, therefore they are suspended for the 1st 5 games of season 2010/2011.

      Resignation

      It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform the committee that I shall be resigning from the Executive Committee at the AGM. Due to changes in my employment and a vastly increased workload I am no longer in a position to carry out committee work and be able to referee. There are
      just not enough hours in the day. May I thank members of the committee and all referees for their support and assistance over the last 8 years.
