As the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt all our normal day lives, the SLBA Executive Committee looked at trying to make decisions based on current positions and possible predicted outcomes going forward. Unfortunately, all options proved impossible to substantiate and as a result all Committee members agreed that the SLBA League’s and Cup’s for 2019/20 season should be voided.

As a result of the current situation, the AGM will be postponed until further notice.

Clubs will be given 30 days’ notice of the AGM in line with the SLBA Constitution. [Please note: League Entry forms will be sent out with the AGM notice.]

Stay safe

Presentation to Jim Conner

After accumulating over 40 years of service on the SLBA Executive Committee between them, Jim Connor and Stewart Holland announced at last season’s AGM that it was time to move on.

Both met up with the Exec for one last meeting, yes food and drink was involved and they were presented with mementoes for their service.

Thanks guys, you left the league in a far better condition than you found it.

The SLBA AGM for 2019 was held on 20th June 2019 at Rosshall Academy, Glasgow.  The draft Minutes are here.  These will be presented for approval at the next AGM, tentatively scheduled for June 2020.

Please be advised the SLBA AGM will take place on Thursday 20th June, 2019 at Rosshall Academy, Crookston Road, Glasgow at 6.30pm.

Any proposals of changes to the constitution or competition regulations must be received in writing by the League Secretary at least fourteen days prior to the AGM (by close of business on 5th June) and must be proposed and seconded by two SLBA clubs who played in the SLBA leagues in Season 2018-2019.

We would also welcome any nominations for any of the position on the Executive Committee.  These must be received in writing by the League Secretary at least fourteen days prior to the AGM (by close of business on 5th June) and must be proposed and seconded by two SLBA clubs who played in the SLBA leagues in Season 2018-2019.

You will find the league entry form for Season 2019-2020 available for download from the Admin menu on the SLBA website.  To enter a team(s) into the league for next season please complete and return as directed on the form.  The form has been sent to all Clubs who participated in the SLBA Competitions in Season 2018-2019.

The AGM Agenda will be sent out along with the minutes from last year’s AGM plus any proposed regulation changes at least 7 days before the AGM. At the AGM the current Chairperson will conduct the election of officers and if the current Chairperson is not re-elected then they will stand down and the new Chairperson will take control of the meeting. The quorum needed for decisions at the AGM is seven-member club votes excluding the Executive committee.

All decisions at the AGM must be proposed and seconded and decided by majority vote. The deciding vote in the event of a tie would be with the Chairperson.

Only clubs that have completed the current season and attend the AGM can vote on issues for the coming season. New clubs have no voting powers until after the fixtures meeting in September.

Strathclyde Masters win the first ever Over-60s Galway Masters. After beating Shannon Dodgers and Galway comfortably in the league games, Strathclyde went on to win the tournament – well done guys.

The Galway Masters Basketball Association was founded in 2011 by a group of players from various clubs throughout Galway City and County. The aim of the association was to host an International Masters tournament in Galway City.

The inaugural Galway Masters started as a one day tournament in 2011 with 12 teams and 22 games. Over a few short years it has become one of the premier Masters Basketball Tournaments in Europe. In this our 8th year, we are hosting 43 teams (men’s 40s, 50s & 60s and women’s 40s & 50s) with games played over the three days of our tournament. This year the tournament hosts teams from Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Spain, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Croatia, Italy, Serbia, Sweden & USA.
