Does anyone know the rule on how members of a league are supposed to be notified for the pre-season league meeting?

Last year the bowling center called my team to ask if we would be returning I said yes we would, the guy said we would be notified of the meeting soon. As the weeks passed my teammates started asking when we started the season and such, so I tried to call the president at work but he retired, then I emailed the secretary but he never replied.

None of the members of my team (or the two others in my office) had any idea when the league started or when the meeting was. When I finally called the center back and asked when the meeting was they said "two days ago, your league starts tomorrow."

To top it off, the President gave a lecture at the banquet on the lack of attendance at the pre-season meeting. I reminded him that we had no idea because no one contacted us.

In case I have any problems this year I would like to know what the official rule is about letting members know about meetings.

In the summer league I was in the secretary calls EVERY member off all 42 teams.
Yet in the fall there are only 16 teams and he can't even contact the captains.

Thanks,
JP

I don't think there's a rule, per se, but it's customary for the secretary to contact the team captains, who then notifies the team members.

The best way I have seen it done is, on the last night of the season, the secretary has each team captain write his name and address on a postcard, which the sec then mails a few weeks before the league meeting.

Thanks for the info guys. Setting the meeting time at the banquet is a good idea. I also like the postcard system.

I know attendance is usually low at the pre-season meetings but I always go.
So when the President started scolding the league for lack of attendance I almost lost it! Let people know and they might actually show up.

Thanks again,
JP

The center that I use to work at would set up all league meetings. They would first call the secratery and then call team captains if not able to get in touch with them would try somebody else on the team and leave it up to them to be at the meeting. If they did not make it to the meeting we would call to double check that they were bowling again and let them know when the start date was. Most meetings are just to set up prices and notify you of any rule changes or to vote on and rules and elect officers.
