Rules

(a) After the 31st December in a current season, a Club intending, or having provisional intentions to withdraw a team from the Competition on completion of its fixtures and fulfilment of all other obligations to the Competition, must notify the secretary in writing by the 31st March each season, or be liable to a fine not exceeding £50.

All Clubs wishing to remain in membership of the Competition for the following season, must confirm their intentions to do so in writing, and forwarded to the Secretary by the 31st March.

(b) A Club shall not be allowed to withdraw its team from the Competition after the Annual General Meeting for the following season. Any Club infringing this Rule shall be liable to a fine not exceeding £100 per team and shall also be liable for its share of any call, which may be made under Rule 5(b).

This Rule shall not apply to Clubs applying for promotion or Relegation under the National League System and Rule 12.

(c) In the event of a Member Club which is an un-incorporated Association withdrawing and/or disbanding, it shall be immediately liable to discharge all its financial and other obligations to the Competition.

In the event that any such obligation remains un-discharged after a period of twenty-one [21] days then such obligations shall be met by the then current Club Members, excluding those under statutory school leaving age. Until a Member's pro-rata obligation is discharged in full, the member shall not be allowed to participate in the Competition, which may apply to the Clubs parent County Association for a suspension order.
