Matters Arising

Development Plan

• ECB Focus Club: Ben Kunicki reported the club was very close to becoming one of the ECB’s “focus clubs”, which will give us many advantages, e.g. funding and coaching; he added that, as part of this process, Damien Dunlop, the ECB’s Cricket Development Officer for Buckinghamshire, will come to the club in November or December this year to get CRB forms for the committee signed and processed.
• Clubmark status: Ben Kunicki reported that good progress was being made towards achieving “clubmark status”.
