Committee Meeting Minutes – Thursday 8th November 2001 The Clubhouse Apologies: Janet Carter Minutes of last meeting and matters arising: Mark and Heidi Frick have purchased First Aid kits/equipment for all the Ladies and Mens teams at a reasonable price. Many thanks! The costs of first aid courses for members will be too expensive therefore we should make a list of all the qualified first aiders and inform all club members of these people. Training is still a slightly grey area. Giles: To follow up with David Banner who will look into first aid courses at the club through Jean Machin and Penny Earnshaw. Jugs of beer: Giles has raised this on the Board and agreed a price with them Giles: To confirm the cost and remind board to add this to the bar prices list behind the bar. Giles: To ask Tony Eaude if the Mens playing committee could make some brief minutes from their meetings (not selection discussions, but details of any issues & actions taken). BCHA affiliation fees and invoice for Cressex pitch have been passed onto Chris Blamey to pay, as he has the cheque book. Chairman’s report: Thanks to Al & the Social committee for a great curry night. In general the club is running well although if there are any issues amongst club members then these should be communicated to him & the committee, otherwise we will assume things are going well. Secretary: No report Treasurer’s report: Drew: To discuss the use of the match fee forms with the Captains as these must be used by all teams, regardless. The last statement from September showed approximately £6,000 less recent costs of pitches, teas, affiliation fees etc. Drew: To put together a full account for next meeting. Drew: To account for Buddy’s subs as paid to CPSA out of the hockey section funds, which will cover his coaching costs. Social Secretary’s report: The curry night took approximately £160 on tickets and about £1000 behind the bar. For future events a till count should be made at 6pm so that the takings from the evening’s entertainment can be calculated. There is a book behind the bar for recording the takings. Quiz night is sold out. To save on the costs there may not be any prizes. Playing section reports: Ladies: Met on Tuesday for a meeting on their focus for the season. The thirds are an important team for promotion from the 4th to the 3rd Division. The 1st are also important as they should be looking to get into the Premiership Division. The ladies have reviewed the old Chalfont St Peter and Amersham players lists. Mens: There has been some movement between the 1st and the 2nd teams, although this is still an area of slight concern. The selection committee is not so well represented by the lower teams. Need to address the balance in these lower teams. Questions were raised regarding putting out an extra team. How proactive are we being at getting all players in games? The Captains also need to report on how well team players are progressing for fluidity between the teams. The Men need to review the players list. Mark: Can you let Sarah know when you are likely to do this as I will need to keep the main list updated. Generally it is important to keep people informed of club activities whether they are playing or not, as they may come back to the game later and we want them to come back to ACHC. Disciplinary Action: Both umpires and captains should write a report of the sequence of events which led to the issue of a red card. The offender may write a written report if he/she wishes. Any suspension is immediate and includes umpiring or even setting foot on the pitch. Sarah: To circulate the actions to be taken following the issue of a red card to all Captains. Sarah: Send Mark and Giles a copy of the EHA disciplinary code. Honours Board: After much discussion it was decided that the Honours Board would have 5 or 6 columns each column being: Chairman Secretary First Team Men;’s Captain First Team Ladies Captain Clubman of the Year or Male and Female Fixture Secretaries Sarah: To ask Doug MacColl who donated the board if he has any preference & also ask Janet. Add to agenda for next meeting. Clubhouse Duties: The rota seems to be working well, but the Captains will be asked in January for their opinion and alternative suggestions. Will also need to ask players if they are happy with the teas Sarah: Feed-back to the caterer that vegetarian meals should not include fish. The Board are looking at getting a professional cleaner. German visit: Sarah quickly reviewed the correspondence between Mike Snell and his contacts in Germany for a foreign exchange / junior hockey tour between the 2 clubs. The committee gave full support to this venture and requested that Mike Snell continues to liase with them and also the ACHC colts section (Mike Johnstone). Any Other Business: Fundraising Mark to forward information regarding fundraising to Al Easter Tour: Captains to find out what the overall opinion of members is. Various options are already available although will need to be answered fairly soon (Le Touquet, Folkestone, Weston, Penzance, Lille. Need to also find out who is interested in organising these. Sarah: Collect information re tours & send to Captains Social C’tee Will represent the cricket section as well (CPSA). On the Queen’s Jubilee there is going to be a grand festival on Gold Hill Common and CPSA have been asked to supply a marquee for the event and then run the bar for a day, taking any profits. The organisers are expecting approx. 5,000 people. Insurance policies can be obtained to write off any costs incurred should the day be a washout. This would be a great opportunity to promote the club and attract new players. The committee are in favour of this but will need Board support just in case things go wrong. Keepers kit: Agreed that some sort of compensation should be given to keepers but there has to be a commitment too stay with the club from them Drew: To discus with Doug MacColl and put togther a proposal for keepers, bearing in mind cost of kit and replacement time, % of games committed to etc. Date of Next meeting: 6th December 2001 at 7.30pm at The Clubhouse.
