COMMUNICATIONS POLICY
& CONTACTS

INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS POLICY 

Our handbook is without doubt  one of the most comprehensive and detailed publications issued by any League. Administrators/managers, at club level, have a duty to familiarise themselves with the full range of advice and guidance provided and in turn strictly apply the rules, which have been refined, in recent times, in order to simplify and clarify interpretation. 
The Directory, contained within its pages, allows the goal of self- determination to be set and pursued either internally or arising through consultation with another club.
It needs to be said that the League, contrary to the expectations, is not capable of offering a 12-hour “Help line” or of providing an independent Arbitration Service to resolve conflict.  

The officers of the league (who are all volunteers and sometimes undertaking more than one role) have in the past been inundated with a huge amount of telephone calls, which can create unacceptable level of intrusion.  Many of the calls concerned matters for which clear policies and procedures are laid out in the handbook or could have been resolved by consultation within the club and including their league representative who very often possess a wealth of experience and knowledge. In many cases it would appear that picking up the phone was the first option exercised, rather than the last.  
The instigators of phone calls although not intending to cause difficulties often do so.  
The Executive of the league has decided that matters cannot continue in this manner  without risking resignations by the leagues “key workers”.  

The League Officer’s with specific responsibilities should only be contacted by the communication method detailed next to their names and relating to the post they occupy. Only matters associated with their responsibilities should be transmitted via this route. For example, direct communication with our Chairman (Gordon Cooper), in any circumstance, is no longer acceptable and consequently information concerning his home address, telephone, mobile, Fax and E-mail address are not published in the handbook. 

In the case of disputes, complaints and other general issues this should be communicated in writing to the League Secretary (Richard Seddon) OR alternatively transmitted via the League’s,  E-Mail address heavywoollen@hotmail.co.uk
The person opening the mail will determine whether its content can wait for consideration at the next meeting of the Executive Committee or not. 
If it is considered to be of a pressing nature it will be dealt with by a Special Emergency Committee (SEC), comprising a small group of officials, who will not be named and may be changed to suit circumstances. The outcome of the SEC’s decision to be conveyed to the club(s) concerned by E-Mail in a corporate fashion withholding the identity of those individuals involved in the process.The SEC’s adjudication will be made without fear or favour and the outcome shall be regarded as final without recourse to appeal or further discussion.
 

On the inside cover of the 2008 Handbook will be details of all the meetings being held by the League up to and including the Annual General Meeting, in December. The club’s league representative should make a note and make early provision to attend, on the dates shown, since this may be the only intimation given of the meetings, venues etc and recognise the consequence of non-attendance is a fine being levied against the club.
The proceedings of all meetings, irrespective of type, will be minuted and a copy of the key issues raised will be made available to Club’s via our Website. CLICK HERE
