2021
By October 2021, the WFLA had 14 member leagues and with COVID-19 somewhat under control, it promised a return for walking football. The first AGM was arranged for September 2021 at ‘The Nuthall’ pub/restaurant in Nottingham. This was attended by seven Alliance members, where amongst other items, the WFLA Constitution was discussed.
Competitions on the WFLA’s agenda were to form a National Cup, a League Champions Cup and an Inter League Cup, for member teams in the Over 50’s, Over 60s, Over 65’s and Over 70’s age categories.
Overall Cup Competition Rules were also discussed and various principles were agreed upon. Finally, the WFLA Management Committee Officers roles were discussed, and it was agreed that rather than nominate and elect Officers for the official positions of Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, there would initially be a voluntary Management Committee. The League Representatives who had attended the meeting all agreed to this proposal.
A Secretary was still needed, and Bill Murney agreed to continue as the Acting Secretary. A Treasurer would be needed before the 2022 competitions started and this role would have to be filled nearer the time. Paul Jackson agreed to be the Acting Chairman and Derek Murr was appointed as the Acting Treasurer.
