I was chatting to Adrian last night and made a suggestion that he thought I ought to put to you all for discussion.
There was some debate about whether 5 weekends may be too much, but we've currently got 5 clubs offering to host to try to overcome the horrible weather problems we've had in the last couple of years (especially 2005).
What I suggested as an option is that if one of the clubs with the later dates would prefer then they could be listed as a spare weekend. We'd see how the 1st 2 weekends go and if we've had some luck with the weather then the team captains could get together and maybe agree that the spare weekend is not used. However, if after the 1st 2 rounds we've had bad luck then we could agree to use the spare weekend to try and salvage something.
The issue Adrian highlighted is that some clubs may struggle to field a full team for 5 whole weekends.
Wow, let's make this as complicated as possible! 5 weekends is good...if they are ALL competition days....GREAT! If the weather forecast looks crap, then each team captain can make a decision...but since when has UK weather forecasting been able to tell us what a sunday will be like on the friday??
Final dates are:
April 29/30 May 1st (bank hol) Hus Bos
May 20/21 Saltby
June 3/4 Gransden
June 24/25 Dunstable
July 8/9 Cranwell
Paul, get that poster up in the clubroom!
Gentlemen (and women)...start your engines........

I think having five weekends is good given the run of poorer weather we have had over the last few years.
We can always opt to see how many days we get from the earlier weekends and if 'x' days are scored then the last weekend can be used as an informal get together rather than a scoring weekend.
Alternatively, (and in my opinion, a bit dodgy this one but putting it out for discussion) if on the Friday evening of an ICL weekend the forecast looks like being a no-hope comp weekend we could have the flexibility of cancelling at that stage with approval of all captains (deputies) and know we still have another spare weekend available.

Ladies and Gents, no time like the present to start think about 2007....as a starting point I would like to know 1) Who your club captain will be for 2007? 2)...
Gransden will be happy to host an ICL round in 2007 and on the basis that I've not found another mug to take on the onerous task, the captain will still be me!...
