Fixtures Secretary's Report Season 2007/08
The planning of this season's games was more complex after the acceptance at last seasons AGM that the senior league would be played as one league instead of the previous two separate leagues, which meant that each senior team was scheduled to play 20 games.
Of the 211 games planned across the whole association only 10 games were not played. The majority of these un-played games were caused because of the limitations of time towards the end of the season because of the number of rearranged fixtures. In order to avoid this scenario for the coming season I will be looking more closely at the reasons for the proposed change of fixtures.
As many of you know this season because of the number of cubs' teams registered we were unable to have a cub's league and unfortunately because of the number of rearranged games and club commitments I was unable to plan any additional fixtures for the cubs as I had hoped to do. To give them some games in addition to the usual BRHA Challenge Cup and a BRHA Cubs Open Tournament has also been arranged with teams from two other associations playing which hopefully will be fun and will provide them with a good day's hockey.
For the coming season 4 days will be set aside to provide cubs with mini tournaments as there will again be a shortage of clubs who are able to field a cubs team because of low numbers and the necessity of playing them up into colts (the stats from these tournaments will be used to find top goal scorer, assist etc.). I feel that it is important that we provide an opportunity for all the children to play games and enjoy the sport with other players of their own size and ability, after all these players are our future teams. There are youngsters out there who are not playing any hockey and it is these players that we need to encourage to keep them in the sport.
Team Registration forms will be sent out shortly in order that I can start planning next seasons fixtures, it is hoped to start promptly during the second weekend of September. Please notify me of any planned tournaments or known commitments now, as these can be scheduled in to avoid default games or the rearrangement of team's fixtures.
I wish you all a very good holiday and look forward to seeing you all next season.

Scoresheet Report 2008
Having established a way of publishing the Fixtures, League and Statistics data on the web site at the end of last season, this was utilised quite effectively this season. Most of the time I was able to update all of the data on a weekly basis, although on some occasions it took a bit longer due to me working abroad a lot this year.Overall, with a few exceptions, the score sheets are received promptly this season which has aided in keeping the data base up to date and passing on disciplinary issues promptly.
On the negative side, the standard of some game sheets has deteriorated and this has made it difficult for me to enter some of the information on to the database. In turn this can lead to some players losing out on some of their statistics, but I can only enter what I can read.
In the forthcoming season it is hoped to maintain the publishing of the league data on the web site and possibly even look at improvements to the data published.
Finally, a thank you to all the Timekeepers for their work this season.
Regards
Mike Webber
