ACHC Officer Positions
WS explain that due to unforeseen circumstances Tim Brooker could no
longer commit to the role of Treasurer and had had to stand down. WS has
approached alternatives to fill the role.
Justin Bootland has accepted the role of Men’s playing Representative,
mainly to attend selection and help with obtaining availability.
There is still no Men’s 5s/6s Captain, although Justin will help with
the 5s and currently there are very few Men’s 6s fixtures.
Training:
EH, WS, David Peters, Steve Jack and Caroline Coates had met to discuss
this year’s training plan. All options for the club were discussed & it
was agreed that David Peters would be head coach on Tuesday nights for
the Ladies, with Celia helping him when she can. However there was some
concern for Monday nights.
The committee discussed the options for a Player Coach for the Men and a
coach for Monday nights (Steve Jack) and agreed that this was the best
option. Steve would be offered payment for Monday & Tuesday nights (£70
pw total) and ½ match fees & social sub for his Men’s 1s Manger/Coach
role on Saturdays. This option allows consistency of training between
all teams. If further funds were required to cover this cost, additional
fund raising events would be held by the HC. WS to discuss with Steve.
Kit:
WS offered an orange away kit for the club, which was not accepted by
all committee members. It was agreed that a white shirt would work best
(with white socks), despite issues with the numbers running/people
washing in dark washes. The ladies may have fitted shirts. Alex Bagehot
is looking at various new options for the club.
Moneys:
WS suggested that some sort of cross-checking of moneys going in/out of
the safe would be appropriate. To be discussed with new Treasurer.
Club Calendar:
WS has sent this out – please let him know if there should be any other
additions
Fixture Card:
This was sent off last night – many thanks to Zoë Scott and Heidi Frick
for getting this done.
Any Other Business:
• WS to sort out Trophy for Mixed Player of the Year 2003/4.
• Fay’s 3rd Team League trophy should go behind the bar for all to see.
• EH to confirm winners of ladies section & inform them that if they
have not received their trophies they can be found behind the bar at the
club.
• No major updates from the CPSA Board.
• Affiliation forms have been received plus some post regarding kit (to
be passed to Alex Bagehot)
Date of Next Meeting:
15th September 2004
Future Meetings: 20th October, 17th November, 8th December, 19th
