It appearing that the Spens Cup rules are being ignored and contrary to the rules as published.
The Spens Cup is for member clubs only according to the Rules as published. Nor is there a Management Meeting (with published minutes) to change this requirement.

According to the Constitution it is the Management Board and or Council that has the authority approved by any changes to the published rules.
There is at least ONE club who does not meet the criteria for club membership. WHY?
WHO approved such an unauthorised change to the Rule Book?
I always understood that the rules were there for a reason, and not at the whim of selected officials to change them in such a random fashion.
The Richardson Cup does not have the requirement.
