knowing about it if any teams are thinking<BR>> of changing home pubs, or leaving the league, or if anyone knows<BR>> about any teams interested in joining the league.<BR><BR>It turns out that we do have a new team interested in joining.<BR>Sujit Roy, late of Rica's Pieces, is the captain and is planning<BR>to populate the team mainly or entirely with players new to our<BR>league.<BR><BR>As you all know, it is desirable for several reasons that the number<BR>of active teams in the league should be even. Therefore, to admit<BR>Sujit's team, we either need to admit another team and have 16, or<BR>we need one team to drop out or merge with another, so we stay at 14.<BR><BR>If necessary we can talk about this at the captains' meeting, but<BR>if we can settle it sooner, by email, that would be better.<BR><BR>I know of two ways we might add another team with relative ease.<BR>First, two seasons back Cindy Goldrick and, I believe, Sheila
Kay<BR>were interested in forming a new team from some formerly active<BR>players in our league, but it was not possible that season because<BR>a second new team could not be scraped together. I don't know if<BR>their proposal could be a live one now or if everyone who might have<BR>been involved is now settled in with their present teams.<BR><BR>Second, it has been said that Allison knows of a team from the Beaches<BR>league that was interested in jumping to our league.<BR><BR>As most of you know, these are situations that Greg Ioannou has often<BR>brokered in the past. I emailed him about this earlier, but he's now<BR>out of town until Monday, January 3, and I don't know whether he's had<BR>time to contact anyone.<BR><BR>Anyone with relevant information, please "reply to all" on this message.<BR>-- <BR>Mark Brader | "One of the lessons of history is that nothing<BR>Toronto |
