  12. Any other Business; D Pordage , on behalf of his team, asked why had the Earl of Normanton had so many of the knock outs again. S Hiller and R Neal explained that we traditionally hold them at the pub that won them the previous season and that the Earl of Normanton had had an amazing winning streak! Also it is a venue large enough to hold all the players in each knock out, plus they do have three teams in the league. D Pordage said that the Kings Arms do have a function room that could perhaps be considered.
