6 Where a club does not fulfil it's away fixture in the first part of the season, then it must forego it's home fixture and travel to play the opposition away.

Passed

Seconded by T Hughes Leigh

=============================================================================== 7 In the second Half of the season or the latter stages of cup competitions where the clubs are not involved with 1st XV fixtures and there is a significant reversal of points from the first fixture then this should be deemed as enough evidence that clubs are dropping players into lower teams and the non offending club should be awarded the match points.

The offending club should also be censored to prevent it happening again.
The competition should be kept at the level determined by the league you have achieved, we cannot have 1^st XV players playing against 3rd and 4th team players because sooner or later we may live to regret it.

=============================================================================== 8 Rolling subs to be allowed from Division 4 and below, as we believe this allows everyone to have a game and leads to encourage player retention as all players get some game time.

9 In the event of a promotion or relegation contest between teams that
have a CC or WO awarded to them. The team able to fulfil the fixture
is  automatically awarded 4 points for the game (as is current practice) but is also provided 25 scored points (25 - 0 result). No matches between teams to be used in promotion or relegation issues.
