Dear All
We have taken on board all the comments we’ve received from various Clubs and the consensus is that you wanted longer games and didn’t want to hang around all evening. With that in mind, and taking into account the number of teams entered and weeks available, we have altered the format. This year each division will come out of an evening and play two 30 minute matches against two separate teams. Matches are 6.30, 7.15, 8.00 and 8.45 – we have worked it so that you only come out for the first two games or the last two games at any given time. We have had to use both Impington and Milton in order to fit all matches in so that everyone in each division plays every team, making it a true representation of the winners ultimately.
The junior games will start at 6pm promptly and will be 2x10 minute matches with straight turnaround/
Score cards will be given out on the night, as we are imposing a wild card element to each game. A bit like the pre-season tournament last year, for those of you who were there. They will be given out to umpires at the beginning of each match once all players are bibbed up and onside ready to play. Each match will have a separate wild card applied and hopefully this will inject the fun element that everyone enjoyed at the tournament.
Should there be any bad sportsmanship or foul language or abuse, umpires will be at liberty to impose financial penalties. At the end of summer league, the money raised will go towards a charity to be nominated.
Rolling substitutions will be allowed at all times but umpires must be informed before the game starts.
We are hoping to take photos to put up on the Facebook site so could you all check with your players who are under age if their parents give consent to photographs being taken. Please find attached a form which we would like every Club to sign to this effect. We will need these back before the start of summer league on Thursday 18 April.
Could I remind you all that parking at the Impington site should only be at the far end of the courts and on the school playground – we are still seeing people parking outside the sports centre entrance, could you inform all your players to not park there.
Many thanks
Toni On behalf of CDNL Committee |

The courts at Impington have an inch of snow covering the whole area and sweeping reveals ice underneath so in the interests of safety, the games today are being cancelled.
Please can you all make sure you rearrange your own matches and your own umpires and have these games played by 14 April as the playoffs are the following weekend and we will need all the scores in promptly.
Thanks

The courts at Impington Village College currently still have a covering of snow on them and the temperature is due to drop dramatically overnight. Also the Met Office has issued an amber warning for our area for snow this evening. It's a shame we've had to cancel so many matches but safety does come first.
Back in September, we added a spare date of 9 February. ALL matches from this Saturday 26 January will be moved en masse to Saturday 9 February (same timings).
So we would ask you all to start rearranging your teams and umpires for Saturday 9 February. Do not assume that the umpire you had for this weekend will be able to still do the same game for you on 9 February.
For those of you in Division 5, we had previously asked you to play your rescheduled 20 January matches on 9 February but logistically we cannot fit those matches as well as Saturday 26 January matches – there just isn’t enough time and I’m sure you don’t want to be playing two matches on one day. So we would ask that you rearrange your 20 January matches between yourselves for a time and date which is convenient. If you book your matches at Impington, then there will be no charge – you need to speak to Christine Chapman on 01223 200415 informing her that you are booking a rearranged match from 20 January. If she isn’t there, please leave a message for her to call you back as she is the lady I have been liaising with about rebooking – the rest of the staff may not be aware of our discussions. You will have til the end of February to get these games played.

Dear All
We would like to support England Netball again this year in their initiative to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. England Netball have a charity partnership with Cancer Research UK and this is a small way in which we can contribute to fundraising.
Each team pledges to donate 10p per goal scored during a particular match. So for example; Burwell 45 (£4.50) v Jets 33 (£3.30). Total pledge £15.60 (each team putting in £7.80).
The Committee would like to propose that we use the fixture dates of 17 and 23 February – we’ve picked two dates as not all of you are out playing on 17 February so you can take part when you play on 23 February instead – for those teams who are playing both weekends, we would obviously only ask you to donate money for one of the games. This isn’t compulsory but it would be great if ALL teams got behind this venture and participated.
We did a similar fundraising effort in March 2011 and umpires got into the spirit by swapping whites for some pinks and rounding any donations up to the nearest pound so if you would like to do that again this year, it would be gratefully appreciated.
Esther would be happy to collect your money on the days mentioned above so please remember to see her after your matches. If she’s umpiring and not on the stall, then you can approach another member of staff – Toni Race, Janette Hatton, Liz Harding, Liz Mitcham, Janice Quarrier or Victoria Cutforth – one of them is bound to be around. It would be much easier to donate on the day than have to send in money retrospectively so make sure you bring along extra pennies those days.
Once both fixture weekends have taken place, we will send off our donations to England Netball and let you know the amount raised.
Thanks for your support ladies.
