| EDPL Exec & Presidents Special Meeting 23/3/2020 |
Part of the discussion at lastnight’s special meeting, we are asking clubs to assist in making our future look bright.
We asked all clubs to pay current out standings by the dates due. By receiving these monies, it will allow us some breathing space. Recompense by way of future rego fees either being waived or reduced, will be open for discussion at a later date.
Thanks to the clubs who have either already paid or pledged to pay the current winter rego invoices. We fully understand that there may be some members who are not in a financial position to do this, and we realize every individual’s financial situation is different.
The current EDPL Executive and some life members, who are all normally exempt from paying rego fees, have either already paid or pledged to pay their $40 rego fee.
No direct correspondence is to be made to the EDPL office. All Club Presidents are aware of the situation. There will be further announcements as more information comes to hand.
Stay safe everyone!
Regards,
EDPL Executive Committee |
| Winter season postponed! |
Dear Members,
We thank you for your patience while we have been discussing and reviewing information provided, by government and media surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19 in Australia. We have spent the weekend liaising with club presidents, each other and life members to get an understanding on where each club sits, in relation to the winter 2020 season commencing on Tuesday 17th March.
We need to understand and respect that each person is going to have their own view on what should and shouldn’t happen. We encourage everyone to show empathy and patience to their fellow members, don’t attack each other’s views.
As an executive we have had to make a decision based on the wishes of our members and one that aligns with other social sporting organisation’s. That decision is to postpone the start of the 2020 Winter EDPL season. All scheduled games for this Tuesday March 17th will not go ahead. We are aiming to re-commence fixtures on Tuesday April 21st.
We are currently working through fixturing with regards to how we run, but potentially the first 5 rounds will be cut, providing the COVID-19 situation has settled we will play the remaining games. We understand this will create some in-equalities in the fixture, but our plan to get back to playing our beloved game as soon as possible. This has been a very hard decision to make and one we haven’t made lightly.
The financial consequences of this decision are significant for the EDPL, as most are aware we have a mortgage on the building which requires servicing. We have a staff member who’s livelihood is at risk. We ask that if any club’s are in a position to pay their winter membership invoices, this will be greatly appreciated and will ensure the financial survival of our competition during this very challenging time.
Please note that this decision has been made with the very best of intentions, with the health and wellbeing of our members and their families in mind. We want to do our part in helping to reduce the spread and impact of COVID-19. As a competition and society we are in uncharted waters, the landscape of society is changing daily as more cases and deaths are confirmed. The demographic for our pool community is vast, we have male and female members ranging from 18 - 80+ years of age. Older members 60+ and those will existing health issues are our most vulnerable and we need to remember that. 8ball pool is our passion and our favourite pass-time, but health and survival trumps all. Lets do anything and everything in our power to ensure that we protect ourselves and others.
For those people who intend to continue to play pool during this period socially (if venues remain open). Ensure you practice good hygiene. Wash your hands with warm water and soap, use hand sanitizer, clean the balls continually after each frame. Ditch the handshakes and kisses on the cheek for now, keep 1.5m away from all people. If you are showing symptoms of a cold or flu, be honest with yourself and stay home.
We understand this is going to upset some people, but understand it’s been decided as a proactive measure to protect our beloved EDPL family.
Sincerest Regards,
EDPL Executive Committee. |
| Starting Dates for each Div - 2020 Winter Season |
The Fixtures are almost ready to go live on the website, just a bit more checking and confirming before they're released, as we want to make sure there are NO errors!
In the meantime, here are the starting dates for each division...
Prems - 31/3
Div 1 - 17/3
Div 2 - 24/3
Div 3 - 24/3
Div 4 - 17/3
So... only 1st & 4th Divisions are playing this coming Tuesday 17th March!
The different starting dates are due to varying numbers of teams in each division, so some playing more/less weeks in the season. |
| EDPL 2020 Calendar |
Please find attached EDPL 2020 Calendar.
The winter season playing weeks are in green, but to be confirmed once fixtures are done.
Please note all EDPL Meeting dates, as well as Annual Tournament Dates, Presentation Night, and public Holidays.
The Lance Sheen Perpetual Singles Tournament is now later in the season, round 1 on Saturday 1st August, and round 2 on Tuesday 4th August. (...this is due to availability at Potters Pool Hall).
The Les Michell Doubles Tournament is on Sunday 16th August.
So... August is a busy month for tournaments, but a chance for some good competition leading up to winter finals!
