9.	CIRCULATION OF RESULTS

10.	P.A.A. CROSS COUNTRY RELAYS

	The Secretary asked  that the fixture to be staged at Hutton Hall on the 20 March 1996 	be given as much support as possible. 

11.	USE OF JAMES E. JAMES PRINTERS

	The secretary expressed his concern over the use of these programme printers for the 	PAA Relays because it is generally such a low key event.

	There was no doubt that the programmes provided a good source of sponsorship 	but he felt that James E. James should perhaps only be used for larger or 	well-supported fixtures.

	Lancashire have decided not to use James E. James this year.
	
	The decision to use this sponsor for the 1997 Relays at South Yorkshire would be left 	to the discretion of the organiser. 

12.	ANY OTHER BUSINESS

	(i)	The winners and runners-up of this years NPCCL men's team event asked that 		further book prizes be arranged for other members of their team who supported 		the league.

		The two forces in question agreed to meet the cost themselves.

		GMP - Asked for 4 extra 1st place book prizes.
		West Yorkshire	- Asked for 5 extra 2nd place book prizes.

	(ii)	Kevin Lincoln asked that a trophy be bought by the League to be awarded to 			the first lady.

		The committee agreed that this was a good idea because a 1st 'lady's team 			trophy' was purchased last season.

		It was decided that Kevin could go ahead and buy the trophy and award it 			retrospectively to his South Yorkshire team member for the 1995/1996 season.

		The cost would be met by the League.
