| Format of Solent Trophy |
At the AGM there was a suggestion that the Solent Trophy (for club teams of eight - our qualifier for the Garden Cities) should change from a knock-out competition to one contested on a single day (almost certainly a Sunday at Romsey).
The committee originally planned to make the competition a one-day event in 2013-14. But, in the light of further representations, the committe have decided to revert to the original (knock-out) format.
