Treasurer's Report |
|
|
|
|
The accounts had yet to be audited but would be very soon, after which they would be sent to SPARTA.
It was noted that expenditure for the year had been largely as anticipated. The Treasurer explained that the increase in the bid for the coming year
reflected the fact that we had not brought forward as much as last year. The bid was approved by members unchanged. |

Election of Officers |
|
|
|
|
One nomination had been received. This was to elect Steve Meyler as Chairman
(nominated by Michael Taylor, seconded by Barry Gigg). This was agreed with one abstention. It was considered that it would be
appropriate to nominate a further member of the committee. Chris Mountain was proposed by Barry Gigg and seconded by Paul Gaught.
The appointment was agreed. |

Arrangements for 2007 Season |
|
|
|
|
Members agreed to arrange another advertising campaign in February/March to recruit new players.
Paul would circulate a poster to members for distribution in their respective buildings. The posters should include the names of specific building
contacts and the club Captain. Nets had been arranged at the Oval for pre-season practice, starting on 27 February 3 April. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was agreed that fixtures for the coming year should be similar to last year. The Fixture Secretary
should be notified as soon as possible about any other cricket fixtures which might have a bearing on player availability, eg corporate games,
so that he can avoid booking fixtures on or near to such dates. Once again, members were encouraged to notify the fixture secretary of their
availability as soon as possible after they are e-mailed. It would be helpful if members could respond even if they are not available. This is useful
as, in the event that we are short of players, the person organising the fixture does not have to e-mail people who have not initially
responded to find out if they have any intention of playing. It was agreed that the captain on the day would provide his mobile number on the
teamsheet so that players could contact him in the event of trains running late etc. It was agreed (following a vote, carried by 5 votes to
3) that in the event that any member cries off on the day without notifying the Captain, they should still be required to pay their match subs.
The aim of this being to encourage players who have stated that they will play to turn up on the day. |

Any Other Business |
|
|
|
|
It was agreed that club subscriptions would remain the same for the coming year. Every
effort should be made to collect these from members as soon as possible. Funds had been provided to amalgamate players statistics onto
one software package, to help with calculations required to determine player and bowler of the year etc. This would be set up as soon as
possible to enable Ken to enter details for the coming season. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was agreed that it was important to take forward tour arrangements to the Cotswolds as
soon as possible. The Chairman and Paul agreed to arrange fixtures, and Sarah Conway would look into arranging accommodation. It was
agreed that Will Walker should be approached to find out if the accommodation possibilities he had previously mentioned applied just to
that which would be provided by his brother, or also included any additional accommodation which might be needed. |
