7)    Proposed Rule Change(s):
a)    A proposal has been received to Match Regulations rule 5(a) suggesting that we add that the pre match knock up should cease at 6.40 and the match commence.
b)    A proposal has been received to Match Regulations rule 5(h) that if floodlights are available then they should be used if required. This would remove the need for an agreement between the captains to use them. Suggest they are switched on no later than 30 minutes after sunset.
c)     A proposal has been received that the Home team moves courts after the first round of events and the Away team stays on the same court. This is to nullify the advantage of home teams playing matches on different surfaces.
