Dear members, <br> <br> on 28 September 2020 our board meeting took place in the new premises of VDH e. V. We would like to inform you about several points from that meeting. <br> <br> <ol> <li><strong>Personnel changes</strong> <br> <br> At the meeting Daniel Ruß was appointed acting sports officer. Over the coming weeks we will train him and prepare him for his work. <br> How responsibility for looking after the teams will be divided has not yet been decided. You will be informed about the division. You will also then receive Daniel’s contact details. <br> <br> <li><strong>Provision of the office</strong> <br> <br> At some venues the existing coronavirus rules make it difficult to guarantee play. We therefore want to give every team the option of booking the office as a venue for league matches. <br> If you would like to use this option, get in touch with us and we will try together to find a free date to make the premises available to you. <br> <br> <li><strong>annual general meeting takes place</strong> <br> <br> We could not keep the date of 4 October 2020. The meeting is postponed indefinitely. As long as the ban on assemblies keeps being extended, we cannot give you a new date. We continue to watch the requirements of the federal government and the State of Lower Saxony very closely and will hold the annual general meeting as soon as possible. <br> <br> <li><strong>Season start 2021</strong> <br> <br> We will open the portal for the new team registrations on 15 October 2020. In view of the uncertain situation, however, we want to extend the deadline to 20 December 2020. <br> For the 2021 season VDH e. V. does not charge a landlord fee. With this we would like to thank the landlords for the good cooperation and to take a small step towards them in these difficult times. <br> With the rising coronavirus figures we fear we will not be able to start the season in February. We have already given thought to this too. If the situation worsens further, we would like to postpone the start of the season until April and then start with more but smaller groups within the divisions, so as to finish the season as planned at the end of the year. <br> <br> <li><strong>Ranking season</strong> <br> <br> The ranking season is abandoned with immediate effect. Ranking tournaments already held will not be charged to the venue. The euro paid into the jackpot is carried over into the new season and paid out at the next ranking final tournament. <br> From 15 October 2020 the venues can again register a new ranking tournament. The new ranking season is planned to start together with the start of league play. <br> Those responsible for the ranking will be informed separately about the abandonment. </ol> <br> We hope that at some point we will find our way back to normality and can then practise the greatest sport in the world again without restrictions… <br> <br> Until then.
