ACU&S have decided to ballot their members on the proposal to abolish ACU&S
and suggest that members join ECBACO instead. General Council has NOT made
any recommendation on which way members should vote. Papers will be in the
November edition of How's That and everyone should vote on this important
issue. Overseas members will be able to fax their vote.
Very active discussion has already started on *

* *about these proposals. Acumen welcomes polite comments (both for and
against) from non-members as well as members in UK and overseas. We do not
censor postings unless they are illegal. ACU&S UK members can also visit
their own discussion board at http://www.acus.org.uk/memberslogin.asp

Meanwhile Mike Gatting has postponed the ECBOA Regional meetings -

I regret we are out of stock of Open Learning Manuals, Umpire logbooks and
ball gauges. Bowlers markers are only available in plain white plastic
variety for the time being. Please note that Val will not be available on
the next two Thursdays.
