20. Change Tea Break to 3pm for Two Day Matches

For a long time the Tea Break was taken by regulation at 3pm in 2 day matches.

This was a little inflexible in that it meant 3pm for 1pm start or 12.30pm start.

Four seasons ago this was reformed to make tea break 3.25pm for 1pm starts and 2.55pm for 12.30pm starts.

This made the tea break approximately half way through the afternoon, the same as for a one day match, and allowed the last session a little shorter.

The reason to restore the 3pm tea break is to limit playing sessions in the hotter part of the day to 60 minutes maximum.

An unsuccessful motion to change Tea breaks back to 3pm was put to the 2017 AGM.

OLD REGULATION	PROPOSED NEW WORDING
TEA INTERVAL	TEA INTERVAL
10.18 For matches starting at 12.30pm a tea interval of 15 minutes will be taken at 2.55pm	10.18 For matches starting at 12.30pm a tea interval of 15 minutes will be taken at 2.30pm
10.19 For matches starting at 1pm a tea interval of 15 minutes will be taken at 3.25pm	10.19 For matches starting at 1pm a tea interval of 15 minutes will be taken at 3.00pm
