The EGM was called to amend the motion passed at the AGM "That MCU Division 1 League Matches be organised on Saturday instead of Sunday." to "That MCU League Matches be organised on Saturday or Sunday."
There were two main reasons for proposing the change: i)the cost of venues on Saturdays turns out to be significantly higher than on Sundays; and ii)the availability of venues is also more limited on Saturdays.
After a short discussion the proposed motion was unanimously adopted by the members present.
