Potential Breach of Article 2 Rule 3c

Richard Cantliffe is only an ECF Supporter not a Member.

Bronze membership is required to avoid game fee being charged to the NSDCA.

This is his 4th game played in NSDCL this season which suggests that Newcastle B are in breach of Article 2 Rule 3c of the playing rules.

Given that his Supporter status expires on 31st Oct 2025, I need to check whether or not he was a member at the time he played his first game, as this was in October.  If he was not then I will have to apply the penalty under the rules.

I should, of course, have…

I should, of course, have said Rule 3b as 3c is the penalty clause.

I am currently still in the process of sorting this.

LMS Administrators Decision

Whilst looking into this this morning, I received an email from Richard apologizing for having selected the wrong level with the ECF and saying that he had just corrected this.  I have checked, and he does now have Bronze membership covering the year from 01/11/24 to 31/10/25.  

Having consulted with the General Secretary and the Treasurer, and taking account of the fact that Article  2 could be seen as lacking a strict definition of 'Member', I have decided to treat this as an unfortunate error which has been quickly corrected and so I am not applying a penalty in this instance.  

Having sent an email to all team captains clarifying the situation regarding article 2 and the fact that 'supporter membership' does not make one a Member, I will not be so understanding of any future occurrences.

As you can see, Richard's…

As you can see, Richard's Bronze membership has appeared on the match card.
