WILDEN CRICKET CLUB – 8TH JANUARY 2019
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOWARD
APOLOGIES: AZIZ, CHRIS
PRESENT: GG, TONY, MARK, NIC AND WELCOME BACK TO HOWARD following his dealing with the local NHS
COMMITTEE THE COMMITTEE WOULD WELCOME ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION FROM THE TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE PLAYING OR NON-PLAYING MEMBERS WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP ORGANISE THE LEAGUE REFLECTING THEIR INTERESTS.
HANDBOOK THE CHAIRMAN IS TO ADD THE NEW RULE TO THE HANDBOOK AND TIME PERMITTING MAY AMEND CERTAIN WORDING IN THE INTERESTS OF CLARITY
ADVERTS ARE TO BE ENCOURAGED IN THE 2019 HANDBOOK AT £50 PER PAGE TO HELP OFFSET COSTS AND KEEP OUR CRICKET AS AFFORDABLE AS POSSIBLE
FINANCES ARE CURRENTLY SOUND, WITH ALL OUTSTANDING INVOICES PAID. £300 WAS AGREED FOR THE PURCHASE OF PINK BALLS FOR THIS YEAR’S FINALS. THE FOLLOWING GROUNDS ARE TO BE APPROACHED AS VENUES FOR FINALS WITH THE LEAGUE OFFERING A FEE OF £50 PER EVENT: CHESTER ROAD, QUATT AND STOURPORT. THE LEAGUE IS SEEKING ADDITIONAL SPONSORSHIP AND WAITING FOR THE PROMISED SPONSORSHIP FROM WEST HAGLEY SOURCES TO APPEAR.
FIXTURES HAVE BEEN PREPARED ALONG 2018 LINES. THEY ARE BEING CHECKED PRIOR TO RELEASE.
AS WE ARE AN AFFILIATED LEAGUE WE ARE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIVES FROM WCB AND ECB. THIS IS NEVER STRAIGHT FORWARD FOR ALL OUR CLUBS. THE DIRECTIVE RELATING TO DBS REQUIREMENTS IS ONE SUCH DIRECTIVE.
GEOFF HAS AGREED FOR THE 2019 SEASON TO GAIN STATUS AS OUR VARIFICATION OFFICER AND WILL BE SHORTLY FORWARDING A STATEMENT FOR ALL TEAMS WITH ACTION REQUIRED. WE REALISE THAT THIS IS YET ANOTHER PIECE OF BURACRACY BUT UNAVOIDABLE. PLEASE RESPOND POSITIVELY.
THE LEAGUE NEEDS TO REPLACE HOWARD AS WELFARE OFFICE.
TEAMS YET TO PAY THEIR REGISTRATION FEE, IF IN DOUBT CHECK WITH THE TREASURER, WILL BE GIVEN UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH TO COMPLY, AFTER WHICH TIME AN ADMINISTRATION FEE WILL BE ADDED TO THE REGISTRATION FEE.
