In view of the promotion of Frome Town and the fact that there will be no relegation movement between the Southern League and Western League it was decided that there would be no relegation from the First Division this season.

It will be stressed at the AGM, when the constitution will be formally decided, that a lack of promoted teams to the league led to the decision to maintain membership numbers.

The Western League is currently four teams under strength from the 22 teams per division suggested by The FA.
