P2P: THE WORKING PARTY HAS A VIEW
In March the EBU revealed the final P2P plan. (See their website if you have not read it.) The LCBA working party has now come to the preliminary decision that we should support the proposal. This would also mean funding the LCBA through the P2P mechanism instead of by subscription. Read our summary of the P2P story. We welcome further feedback from you at any time up to May 22nd which is when Leicestershire clubs have been invited to a discussion meeting.
If you want to pass on comments then speak to any one of our working party: Pat Beasley, Hugh Cairns, Henry Cooklin, Robert Northage, Pat Watson, John Wilcox. You can send us an email on the subject from this page.
On June 4th the next EBU shareholders meeting will simply vote either for or against the proposal (a simple majority will suffice). The shareholders will not be able to vote separately on individual components of the P2P proposal. If it is decided to proceed with P2P then in October 2009 shareholders will be asked to approve changes to the EBU bye laws and articles of association and then the new scheme will come into being on April 1st 2010.
