07/169 PRESIDENT'S REPORT
1. Thanks to Dane for filling in for me and thank you to everyone for your support, visits and flowers.

07/170 GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Dane - following on from Barry's report on clubs not sending their payments for referee's. Do the referee's have any way they can make our clubs unfinancial for non payment of fees.
Jack - No they don't. When asked if we would support accounting for referee payments we agreed but said we could not assist further. The Branch could withdraw its services should clubs default.
Discussion - do they realise they may be penalised by the referee's if they haven't been paid. Could we ask the clubs to make sure they pay the invoice or if they have a problem keep the money separate as it doesn't belong to them.
2. Jack - Given the nature of some offenses, the Association should look to its By Laws and ensure that some undesirable players are not accepted for registration in future.
3. Jim - mid week games what happens with send offs. Automatic stand down for their next match - reports for mid week games should come with weekend reports.
The responsibility is on the club to make themselves aware of any mid-week dismissals and dismissals in State Competitions ETC and ensure players are stood down as they will be found ineligible should they play.
