FEBRUARY 2017
APOLOGIES FROM SCOTT AND TONY
PRESENT NIC, MARK, HOWARD, GEOFF
FIXTURES
EXCELLENT DETAILED WORK HAS BEEN DONE BY THE OFFICIERS OVER SEVERAL MEETINGS. THE END RESULT WAS VERY MUCH INFLUENCED BY THE NUMBER, STANDARD AND WISHES OF THE MAJORITY OF THE TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE.
TEAMS ARE TO BE ASKED AT THE MARCH GENERAL MEETING IF THEY WISH TO AMEND THE “Ten x Ten” RULES TO ALLOW EACH BOWLER A MAXIMUM OF 2 OVERS IN THE AB CUP
SPONSORSHIP
WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE MAJOR SPONSORSHIP OF £800 FROM WILDEN INDUSTRIAL ESTATES WITH ADDITIONAL SUMS FROM DELSPORTS AND ASAF/SPORTS AVENUE. FURTHER SPONSORSHIP HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BUT YET TO MATERIALISE.
INSURANCE
THERE WAS SOME CONCERN EXPRESSED BY ECB WITH REGARD TO CERTAIN INSURANCE COMPANIES NO LONGER COVERING CLUBS. THE OFFICERS ARE ALL COVERED THROUGH THE WVCC INSURANCE SCHEME.
HANDBOOK
A SERIES OF MEETINGS HAVE BEEN HELD TO DEVELOP THE NEW HANDBOOK WHICH CONTAINS BASIC RULES DIRECTLY AFFECTING MATCHES, UMPIRE DETAILS, TEAM DETAILS AND FIXTURES WITH THE REMAINING RULES AND DATA APPEARING ON THE WEBSITE.
FINANCE
THE LEAGUE IS STILL WAITNG UPON THE REGISTRATION PAYMENT FROM
WATERFRONT AND WEST HAGLEY WHICH IS INCREASING BY £10 PER MONTH.
INDOOR LEAGUE
FOUR TEAMS HAVE SO FAR SIGNED FOR THE INDOOR LEAGUE NAMELY ALVELEY, BEWDLEY, STAGBOROUGH AND THREE CROWNS WITH EIGHT PLAYERS PER TEAM
FINALS
IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT UMPIRES SHOULD BE PAID BY THE LEAGUE FOR THEIR FINAL DUTIES RATHER THAN THE CLUBS. WHILST IT WAS AGREED THAT THIS WOULD BE NICE, CURRENTLY THE LEAGUE ALREADY PAYS OUT £400+ FOR FINALS (GROUND, BALLS AND TROPHIES) AND THIS WOULD ADD A FUTHER £180 i.e. £600 OR PUT ANOTHER WAY ONE THIRD OF THE EACH TEAMS REGISTRATION FEE.
THE SUGGESTION FOLLOWED THAT THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED IF SPONSORSHIP COULD BE FOUND TO COVER THE SUM IN QUESTION
