Chalfont St. Peter Cricket
Club: Minutes, 15th June, 2005
Present: Matthew Stevenson (chairman), David Banner, Zamir Khan, Keith
Neave, Phil Noot, Andy Parsons, David Peters
Apologies: Rahul Punj, Murray Scott
Matters Arising
Annual award trophies: David Peters has not yet managed to get the
trophies engraved but he hopes to do so in the near future.
Junior club shirts: these have arrived and have been distributed to the
junior players.
Fixture booklets: Zamir Khan said that he hoped to get them printed in the
next week or so.
Fun in the Park: Andy Parsons and Keith Neave are making plans for a
junior cricket match as part of this event.
Overseas players: Matthew Stevenson reported that he was in discussion
with Adil Irfan about him returning this season to play for the 2nd XI.
Tahir Rashid is performing well for the 1st XI.
Bucks Under 15 match: the staging of this match was a success but David
Banner said that it was vital for two or three committee members to give up
a Sunday afternoon and entertain the visitors if these events are to be a
success in the future.
Cricket Report
Practice evenings: these have been reasonably well attended.
Results and availability: these have both been reasonably good so far this
season.
Selection meetings: Matthew Stevenson said that he had now got these
meetings going and the general feeling was that they have proved beneficial.
Publicity: match reports are appearing regularly in the newsletter; Andy
Parsons will try to get more coverage in the Buckinghamshire Advertiser
Ground Report
Future projects: it was agreed that refurbishing the practice facility
should be our top priority during the winter, with covers the second
priority; David Banner said that we needed a new storage facility and
suggested a wooden shed behind/alongside the storage containers
Square: the square is playing very well, with more bounce than in previous
years.
Outfield: the outfield is in excellent condition.
Picket fence: David Banner said that he had replaced the missing pickets;
we do, however, in the reasonably near future need to apply an oil-based
substance to protect the wood.
Electronic scorebox: David Banner said that the wiring needs to be
protected from rats who eat through the wire; various remedies were
discussed but a definitive plan was not agreed.
Car park: the grass still needs to be strimmed.
Machinery: David Banner said that all the machinery was currently working
well.
Covers: David Banner reiterated his concern about the tarpaulin cover,
which may not comply with TVCL regulations.
Finance
Fixture booklets 2004: Zamir Khan said that he is still chasing the £100,
which is outstanding from last years fixture booklets.
Annual dinner 2004: there has been no further progress on Shahid Dins
debt.
Annual subscriptions 2004: there has been no further progress on the two
outstanding debtors, Amit Puri and Dean Page.
Match Fees 2005: it is believed that these are pretty well up-to-date.
Annual subscriptions 2005: Matthew Stevenson expressed his frustration at
the number of players who have still not paid up, and asked all the captains
to chase harder.
Fund Raising
Indian BBQ and Casino Night: Andy Parsons said this event was now
confirmed and asked everyone to help him with ticket sales.
Fixtures
Senior fixtures: there have been a couple of fixture misunderstandings
(one re venue and one re the opposition not turning up); the Sunday 1st XI
was the unlucky team on both occasions.
Presidents Day 2005: Matthew Stevenson confirmed that this years event
will take place on Friday, 26th August.
Next Meeting
Next meeting: Wednesday, 13th July, 2005, 8.00pm in the clubhouse.
