The final is scheduled for the 4th November and as always we will work backwards The previous Sunday being the Semis and the one before that the quarters.  Some discussion regarding the championships and its location ensued HH reminded members of rule 18 regarding the Championships “ The Secretary has the powers to run the Championships in the manner  that they choose using the available Association resources” The policy that was put in place last season but was curtailed by the gentleman’s agreement to use the 147 club for the championships has gone into full gear now and we will be using Tameside Elite Gym for all rounds of the Championships unless there are alternative venues that offer us their venues free and have an acceptable ring.

The secretary of course will take note of certain suggestions and where practical and possible put them in to use. However complaints are not suggestions and moving the Final to a different venue has already been tried by this Executive and it wasn’t practical and the added expense wasn’t reasonable either it was also mentioned that using the same venue for every round including the final has always been done for at least the last 10 years barring the previous two seasons. If there is another venue where we don’t have to hire a ring and pay for the venue we will consider it. Several of the executive volunteered their services to provide help in sorting out Certificates for our Regional Champions. The Secretary suggested a championship sub-committee who he could liaise with before and during Championships.

Minutes from 2nd October 2018: The Secretary had omitted an application from a club in Burnley at the last meeting 5 Ways Boxing Club in Burnley inspection to be arranged before next meeting. Matters arising: Some discussion about what was agreed and not agreed on Championship Venues. WHreminded everyone that the issue about the ring at Tameside was resolved and the issue on certificates was also sorted. HH informed IH that his report was submitted however his proposals weren’t submitted correctly as the business of the Championships is continual and must remain flexible and should be dealt with by the relevant sub-committee subject to Domestic Rule 18. Minutes accepted as a true and accurate record

  5. Treasurer Feedback: The championships once again made a good surplus and the Region is heading in a good direction financially. It was noted and the committee acknowledged that one of the key elements to all this financial improvement has been the use of the treasurer’s club facilities at Stalybridge.

(full report will be published on website)
  7. A.O.B. WH suggested that the minimum fee for officials should be £20. The concept was discussed and agreed. The Championships would be no problem but the practicality of making it happen on club shows would have to be discussed further; with the appointments secretary having a big input (maybe an inclusive permit fee may cover it).

The President proposed a Christmas dinner for refreshments at the next meeting in December. All agreed.

Championships:  The reduction of fights was a kick in the teeth and probably cost us about £500 income in the schools pre-quarters, again we were running round for officials on the day because we hadn’t been informed of absentees and whoever had been informed did nothing about it. This has to be resolved for next season the adjudicator and his assistant have to have a close look at the system they are using and resolve this. It is not just one championship and it has been a joke at both of the events we have hosted and invited another Region. It has to be addressed.
