  • It was decided not to amend the current section league structure in order to take advantage of the possibility of awarding blue points in the top division of the East Section league, mainly due to the complications arising over the subsequent relationship with the remaining sectional leagues. Forming a completely separate county league at some stage in the future was not ruled out.
  • Andrew Robson (20-23 Mar 2017). An outline costing was tabled. It was agreed to use the same procedure as in 2014 (clubs responsible for all matters at their venue).
  • Agreed to propose to AGM that the P2P rate for 2017-18 remains at 4p; the club subscription to remain at zero and the Devon part of direct membership remains at £3.
  • The 2016-17 calendar is being updated; please check that anything and everything is correct.
  • There will be two (identical) Michael Byrne seminars on 9 and 10 July 2016 at Bovey Tracey Golf Centre aimed at, but not restricted to, potential, aspiring and existing County B and C team players. The cost will be £30 per person to include a finger buffet lunch and tea or coffee. Each seminar will be limited to 20 persons. Further details will be available soon.
