28 Oct. Leics u160 team are withdrawn.

5 Sep. Notts are not attempting to run an Open team this season leaving Warwickshire and Staffordshire to fight for the title. Both teams automatically qualify for the National Stages. That leaves 6 teams to fight for the two National place in the Minor Championship. Lincolnshire make up for the loss of Notts open team by entering an extra team in the under-120 championship. Leicestershire have entered the under-140 rather than the under-120. Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire will battle it out for the under-180 and under-100 championships. The current fixtures dates should therefore see three championships decided by the end of January.

4 Sep. Julie Johnson has sent the fixtures lists for the new season to captains or county secretaries. These are now available in a draft webpage using the "Fixtures list" menu button on the left. The webmaster is inviting county team contacts to check the accuracy of information on the fixtures page of this website before linking it to an Adobe pdf version for printing.
