The Camanachd Association will hold a Season Review meeting at the Alexandra Hotel, Fort William on Saturday 1 December 2012.
The main purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum for open discussion around Byelaw 1 (Rules of Play) and to consider any possible amendments for introduction prior to the start of the 2013 playing season.
Amendments to Byelaw 1 can only be agreed via a vote at a General Meeting of the Association. The deadline for formal receipt of any proposed Byelaw 1 amendments from member Clubs & Associations is Friday 7 December 2012, following which a General Meeting of the Association will be held in Fort William on the evening of Friday 1 February 2013.
Next month’s Season Review meeting will also provide an important update on the progress of the Competitions Review Group and allow an opportunity for those present to have their say on the future shape of shinty.
Byelaw 3 (Competition Regulations & Procedures) relates to the remit of the Competitions Review Group and the current competition structure. Unlike Byelaw 1, changes to Byelaw 3 can be agreed by the Board of Directors and do not require going before a General Meeting of the Association. However, the Board has agreed that final proposal put forward by the Competitions Review Group for implementation in the 2014 playing season will be presented to the General Meeting on Friday 1 February 2013 for consideration.
The timetable for the General Meeting is detailed below.
