Any Club infringing this Rule shall be liable to a fine of £25.00 per team and shall also be liable for its share of any call which may be made under Rule 5(B).

(C) Not applicable

(D) In the event of a Member Club which is an un-incorporated association withdrawing or disbanding it shall be immediately liable to discharge all its financial and other obligations to the Competition.

In the event that any such obligation remains undischarged after a period of twenty-one (21) days then such obligation shall be met by the then current Club Members, excluding those under the statutory school leaving age.
