NEWSLETTER
CHRISTMAS 2015
As the season approaches its half way stage, I would like to bring you up to date with all that is happening in the world
of Veterans League football. Some of this information may have already have appeared on the League website, but
some is being published here for the first time.
POSTPONED GAMES
The number of postponed games has risen steadily over the past few weeks during the poor weather we have been
experiencing, although not all games have been called off because of the weather, County Cup matches and grounds
not being available account for some of the postponements. The number of games to be re-arranged is now over 20
with more expected. What this means, is that it is looking almost certain that I will have to utilise either or both
Mother’s Day 6th March 2016 and Easter Sunday 27th March 2016 to accommodate the number of games to be rearranged. I will also be using the dates of the Preliminary Rounds of the Divisional Cups to re-arrange fixtures for those
clubs who are not drawn in these ties. (See below) I appreciate some clubs have little or no backlog at present but
quite a number of others are well behind where they should be at this stage of the season.
I will attempt to accommodate clubs needs and views, but that might not always be possible to achieve as the numbers
of games to be rescheduled rises.
Just a reminder that if you call off a match for none pitch fitness reasons on the day of a game, you do not have the
option to re-arrange the game, your opponents will automatically receive the three points and you will have at least
one point deducted from your total and you may also be liable to a fine of £30.
FA GUIDELINES ON CONCUSSION
The FA has recently produced a set of guidelines surrounding the issue of players suffering from Concussion and how to
deal with the aftermath of such an injury. Recent high profile deaths from head injuries suffered during sporting events
has prompted the guidelines being introduced. The information can be obtained by accessing this link.

Please take a few minutes to read the information, it might help one of your players in the coming weeks and months.
CHARTER STANDARD
For the majority of Veterans League sides, the Annual Health Check of your Charter Standard award will open on 1st
January and you will have three months to complete the process as in previous years.
For Barton Barracudas, South Holderness, and Kinloss you have between now and June 2016 to achieve Charter
Standard Status.
I will be in touch with these clubs in the New Year to advise you on what you have to do to achieve the standard.

date provided they have not played for another Veterans League side this season.
VETERANS LEAGUE WEBSITE
The Veterans League Website www.hullveteransleague.com continues to go from strength to strength as the number
of hits it receives on a weekly basis indicates. As you may know, we also have a Twitter account and all information
from the website is tweeted, so if you or any of your players, club officials or supporters are on Twitter please ask them
to follow @hullvetsleague to receive updates.
SPONSORS KIT AWARD
At the Veterans League AGM back in June, I announced that our Sponsors Easy Buy Ltd, were offering to provide a
brand new kit to one of our teams. A draw took place in September and the lucky winners were Eastrington Village.
It has taken them some time to sort out design and size requirements, but just a couple of weeks ago they finally took
delivery of it. A photograph of the team resplendent in their new kit will appear on the website early next month.
SEASONS GREETINGS
May I take this opportunity to wish you and your players, club officials and their families all the very best for Christmas
and the New Year on behalf of the Veterans League Committee.
