The league's clubs also voted to merge Divisions One and Two into a single reserve team league made up of 14 teams.
The reserve team of Rusthall were voted in to be one of those clubs.
In other news, league secretary Roy Vinter and referee's secretary Ray Brown were rewarded for their loyal service to the league as they were voted league President and Vice-President respectively, both newly created positions.
All officers of the league were re-elected with Paul Carter appointed in the new role of Press and Communications Officer and John Bathurst of Herne Bay also elected into the vacant spot on the management committee.
The clubs were also given a presentation by Colin Ethridge of kit manufacturers Macron who presented Macron vouchers to League Cup winners VCD Athletic and runners-up Corinthian as part of their sponsorship of the competition.
The representatives from Macron then took part in the draw for the 2012/13 competition with VCD and Corinthian being the first tie out of the hat in round one, ensuring there will be no repeat of last season's final.
