Current chairman Robert Bradshaw-Smith is standing down after seven years in the job, a replacement needs to be found.

The new chairman will find a team of officers is already in place to look after finances (Charlie Dibble), fixtures (Ian Jeacock), results (Sheila Harding) and disputes (Fred Harding).

The league, founded in 1991, has around 100 teams from 24 clubs all over East Devon in its ranks.

Bradshaw-Smith has written a job description that potential applicants can review by contacting him.

Applications should be emailed to Bradshaw-Smith ASAP. The league’s annual meeting is at Ottery St Mary CC on November 28 at 7.30pm.
