The Summer League was introduced back in the early 1980's as people thought at the time that the gap between June & September was too long to wait for a new season to start and as the years went by in grew to be on a par with the Winter League membership. As we all know for the last 5-8 years both Leagues numbers have diminished for a number of reasons but there still remains a hardcore of interest to keep the League alive and so going back to a one season scenario may not be to everyones liking its better than a zero season which, at current membership levels, would not be too far into the future. I'm not saying that this will happen but a shake up of the league every now and again may attract new interest as like the change from a single 7 frame match to the current 11 frame match made up 3 sets. I'm not saying that this would be a saviour but its obvious that something has to be tweeked for us to remain solvent. Early days yet and still some work involved by all to achieve a happy medium for the majority of the membership.
