Matters Arising

• Sport for All Award: Chris N. Yoxall reported that he had secured a grant of £5000 towards the new practice facility; Matthew Stevenson thanked him for his hard work in preparing our application and congratulated him on achieving such a successful result.
• Annual Dinner Dance: this event was a great success and Matthew Stevenson thanked Andy Parsons for organizing it; on the evening, the club president, Sam Machin, made a very generous offer to part fund the cost of covers (see below).
• Junior Presentation Evening: this event was also a great success and Matthew Stevenson thanked Keith Neave for organizing it.
• Fixture booklets: in the absence of Zamir Khan there was no further progress to report.
• Stoke Green: Matthew Stevenson said that he had still not heard any more from the TVCL re Stoke Green’s appeal.
• TVCL AGM: Saqib Ahmed reported that no major changes were passed.

Cricket Report

• Overseas player: Matthew Stevenson reported that Adil Irfan had still not secured a visa, which leaves his return to the club for the 2006 season as overseas player/junior coach open to doubt.
• Fixtures: Dan Webb reported that he was making good progress on the 2006 fixtures; he also said that the Bucks Cricket Board had approached him again about another junior match at the club in the 2006 season.

Ground Report

• Square: in the absence of David Banner there was no report.
• Ground: in the absence of David Banner there was no report; outstanding issues remain the quotations for a new storage facility, spraying the picket fence, protecting the wiring for the electronic scorebox, and cutting down various overhanging branches.
• Machinery: in the absence of David Banner there was no report, but it is understood that the mowers need some attention and the bowling machine needs to be repaired.
• New practice facility: there has been no further progress since the last meeting; in the light of the Sport for All grant, Dave Nolder will produce revised costings and a new project plan for the next CPSA board meeting; Chris Yoxall said that a letter should be written to Gerrards Cross Golf Club to inform them of our plans.
• Covers: Matthew Stevenson said that the new committee elected at the forthcoming AGM should decide how to proceed with this project.

Treasurer’s Report

• Match fees: Murray Scott reported that the current balance was approximately £9000.
• Annual Dinner: Matthew Stevenson asked Murray Scott to liase with Andy Parsons and produce a final profit figure for the Annual Dinner.
• Miscellaneous: Matthew Stevenson said that he had received a donation of £100 towards the new covers from James Mallinder, and a refund of £54 from the TVCL re league appointed umpires.
