Present: Matthew Stevenson (chairman), Saqib Ahmed, Zamir Khan, Keith Neave, David Peters, Rahul Punj

Apologies: Murray Scott, Dan Webb, Chris N. Yoxall

Matters Arising

• TVCL AGM: Saqib Ahmed reported that none of the resolutions had been passed. He reported that the ECB is recommending a change to the way leagues manage the disciplinary process, whereby the clubs themselves manage the process and it is only escalated to the league if it is not satisfactorily resolved by the club.
• Annual awards: David Peters will organise the return and engraving of the trophies.
• Working parties: Matthew Stevenson said that he was waiting to hear from David Banner re dates for these events.
• Umpiring & laws workshop: Matthew Stevenson said that he would try to organise a BACUS (Buckinghamshire Association of Umpires & Scorers) event in the spring.
• Teas invoices: these were all in order.

Cricket Report

• Club shirts: Matthew Stevenson said that he thought that there was a demand for short-sleeved club shirts. Keith Neave said that the juniors would certainly buy them. Zamir Khan will therefore get 50-60 club shirts made, in various sizes; the sale of ten of these shirts should cover the costs, so it is a good profit-making opportunity with almost no financial risk.
• Cricket balls: Zamir Khan will arrange for circa 40 cricket balls to be brought back from Pakistan prior to the start of the season.
• Next year’s committee: Rahul Punj has agreed to continue as Sunday 1st XI captain. However, vacancies remain for Fixture Secretary, CPSA Board Rep and Social Rep.
• ECB coaching course: Keith Neave said that he had not yet booked a place on a course, due mainly to problems navigating the Bucks Cricket Board web site; Matthew Stevenson recommended that he contact Steve Ayres, ECB Development Officer for Bucks, directly by telephone.
• ECB club and coaching development seminars: Matthew Stevenson reported that there were some events coming up, but said that he was unlikely to be able to attend due to work commitments. Keith Neave said that he may be able to attend; Matthew Stevenson will forward the dates to the committee.
• Indoor nets: Rahul Punj will try to organise some club net sessions.
• Overseas players: Zamir Khan will keep his eye open for a second overseas player.

Finance

• Fixture booklets: Zamir Khan confirmed that there was still £100 outstanding from last year’s fixture booklets. He also said that he had lost some of his advertisers for this year’s booklets, which is a shame. However, despite this, Matthew Stevenson encouraged him to continue with the idea for another year and see what happens, and also asked Saqib Ahmed to be more proactive in trying to find new advertisers. Keith Neave very kindly offered to get the fixture booklets printed at no cost to the club via his company.
• Annual dinner: Saqib Ahmed and Asif Ahmed have settled their debts. Shahid Din’s monies remain outstanding.
• Annual subscriptions: Matthew Stevenson said that there remain two outstanding debtors, Amit Puri and Dean Page, and promised to continue chasing them.

Fixtures

• MASL fixtures 2005: Matthew Stevenson reported that these had now been published.
