NOTICE FOR CLUB SECRETARIES
Poaching
Please ensure any potential poaching issues or information is forwarded to the Federation Development Officer as set out in the forms re-issued in July 11.
Private Water Bailiffs
It has come to the attention of the Federation that the court service are applying the charge of £100 for the appointment or renewal of Private Water Bailiffs. These charges are in line with the guidelines however in the interim clubs should make one application for all renewals and appointments in this way clubs will then only be charged the one fee. The Federation hope to take the matter up with various authorities in the coming months.
