To all Clubs at Step 5 of the National League System
Dear Colleague
Steps 5/6 Review
As you may be aware, at the request of The FA’s Leagues Committee we are currently carrying out a review of the Steps 5/6 structure within the National League System, one of the aims of which is to look at the possibility of reducing the 14 leagues currently at Step 5 down to 12 leagues.
We have reached a point whereby the Steps 5/6 Review Group wish to share some initial thoughts of what Step 5 may look like going forward. We intend to share these thoughts with the leagues at a meeting on Sunday 8 January 2012. This will be followed by a series of regional meetings to which Step 5 clubs are invited to send up to two representatives. The regional meetings are each to commence at 1.00pm with light refreshments available from 12.30pm and will be held as follows:-

Attached you will find a reply form and I would ask that you complete this indicating which meeting you wish to attend and return it to Penny Kift by the deadline dates shown.
Whilst tea/coffee/biscuits will be provided, we are unable to cover the cost of travel expenses for attending the meetings. There is no set agenda but additional information relating to the review will be provided at the meeting. It is important that you contribute fully to this process and your attendance would be appreciated.
In closing can I take this opportunity to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas.
Yours faithfully
Mike Appleby
