Apologies for Absence/minutes agreed
- Football Secretary’s Report
- Chairman’s Address
Mr Foxsmith thanked the committee for their efforts over the year, in particular Ms Lloyd and Mr Robinson for joining during the year and Mr Jameson wishing to re-join the committee this coming year, noting that new committee members are always welcome. Mr Foxsmith also thanked those who attended APFSCIL meetings and those who had played for PASALB’s teams, noting the high level of Argyle supporters in PASALB teams compared to other supporters’ clubs fielding ringers.
In reviewing the year Mr Foxsmith noted that Simon Walker won the Fantasy League, and the well-supported away trips. The Clerkenwell Blue Badge guided pub crawl had been a successful social event as had an evening with Steve Castle as guest speaker. Following the latter, there may be a PASALB trip to Royston FC next season. Ruben Lameiras was voted PASALB’s PAFC Player of the Year.
PASALB FC were third in the league at time of AGM and likely to finish in that position although 4th was possible. London Scottish, who were League Champions, had beaten PASALB in the semi-finals of the cup. Mr Willacy has made some signings for next season but new players are always welcome.
The football team continues to active outside of the league with a trip to Leiden arranged and merchandising (polo shirts and jackets) available. The team has also had a giant flag made.
- Darts Secretary’s Report
The darts season was still going on with some teams struggling to fulfil fixtures. PASALB had won 4 and lost 1 of its matches; with three games left to play the team is likely to finish second and be promoted.
A change of home pub to the Libertine in Borough has been a success so fr after three games have been played there.
- Pool Secretary’s Report
The joint team with Barrow, One Nil To The Referee, topped the table after winning its opening game but has since slipped down the table with four matches remaining.
Mr Burnham-Richards thanked those who have played for PASALB, noting that the team has its largest group of players since some of the Barrow players left and has consistently been able to field a full side. New players remain welcome.
