November AGM and Presentation Evening

AGM 2017

AT WILDEN VILLAGE CRICKET CLUB 14/11/2017

APOLOGIES FROM THREE CROWNS

WELCOME: ALL TEAM REPRESENTATIVE AND OUR GUESTS FROM WCCC ED BARNARD AND BEN TWOHIG

CHAIR REPORT: THE 16 TEAMS  IN OUR LEAGUE IN 2017 WAS THE LOWEST SINCE THE START OF THE LEAGUE IN 1976 REFLECTING THE STATE OF CRICKET NATIONALLY AND ITS CURRENT FLUX. THE INBALANCE IN NUMBERS BETWEEN DIVISIONS WAS ENGINEERED TO ACCOMMODATE THE APPARENT GULF IN STANDARDS, WHICH WAS A MARGINAL SUCCESS.

ALL CUP AND PLATE FINALS WERE PLAYED AT CHESTER ROAD, AT A PRICE, BUT OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY OF MORE PLAYERS EXPERIENCING THE DELIGHTS OF PLAYING AT A FIRST CLASS VENUE. MATCH REPORTING HAS IMPROVED, THANK YOU, BUT WE MUST CONTINUE TO WORK USING THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE. WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW LAWS FOR 2018, EDUCATION SESSIONS WILL BE HELD PLUS AN INFORMATION SESSION RE INSURANCE TO ENSURE CLUBS ARE WELL BRIEFED.

ACCOUNTS: THE NEW TREASURER IS SLOWLY PICKING HIS WAY THROUGH THE HISTORIC ACCOUNTS ENSURING ALL MEET THE REQUIRED SCRUTINY. INCOME AND FINES ARE DOWN REFLECTING THE NUMBER OF TEAMS AND BETTER COMMUNICATION. THERE WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL CHARGE TO LAUNCH THE NEW HANDBOOK AND WEBSITE PLUS A CORRECTION FIGURE LEAVING THE CURRENT ACCOUNT HOVERING AT JUST £48. ANALYSIS OF THE LAST FEW SEASONS REFLECT THE STEADY RISE IN THE COST OF CRICKET WHICH HAS TO BE MET BY HIGHER FEES OR GREATER SPONSORSHIP.

PROPOSED BY JULIAN FALLOWS

SECONDED BY ADAM DAVIES NEM CON

THERE WERE NO RULE CHANGES TO BE VOTED ON, JUST GREATER CLARIFICATION

THE COMMITTEE WAS ELECTED EN BLOC WITH NO NEW BLOOD AND THE RETIREMENT OF SCOTT ROLLINGS.

DESPITE THE RESIGNATION OF BOTH LYE BASED TEAMS FOR NEXT SEASON, AZIZ WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE “GUEST” APPEARANCES ON THE COMMITTEE AND WILL CONTINUE WITH HIS RESPONSIBILITY AS PLAY-CRICKET ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE LEAGUE.

NEW TEAMS WERE ELECTED NAMELY ALVELEY AND ENVILLE (LOSING THREE CROWNS, LYE AND JARI)
