Matters
Arising
- CPSA Life
Membership Scheme: Tony Hewston reported that the CPSA Board had
re-opened this scheme, on a limited basis, and that Razaq Ishaq and
Tariq Gulfishan had taken the opportunity to become life
members.
- Annual Dinner:
Dan Webb reported that this event had been a great success,
well-attended and with good food.
Cricket
Report
- Selection: Tony Hewston reported that
availability had been good although enforcing a strict selection policy
on Sundays was still proving problematic; there was an especially
unfortunate mix-up last Sunday which led to the 1st XI taking the field
with nine players.
- Captains’ reports: All the captains
reported a positive start to the new season, and the 3rd XI started its
TVCL campaign with a win; however, both the 1st and 2nd XIs lost their
opening matches.
- Junior report: in the absence of Phil Noot
there was no report.
- TVCL fines: Matthew Stevenson proposed that
any TVCL fines should be sent directly to the team captains (rather than
the secretary or treasurer), who will settle them privately. He
explained that the rationale here is that these fines are “team” rather
than “club” based, and should therefore be borne by the relevant team
member(s). This proposal was accepted and Matthew Stevenson took the
action to contact the relevant TVCL results
secretaries.
- Newsletter: Clare Winter joined the meeting
to discuss the weekly club newsletter; it was agreed that all the
captains would take responsibility for entering the statistics on the
club web site and sending in a match report by Wednesday lunchtime
latest.
Treasurer’s Report
- Financial
report: in the absence of Murray Scott there was no
report.
- Match fees:
Tony Hewston and Dan Webb both said that they had large amounts of
monies to bank.
- Club kit:
Mandeep Gill said that the profit figure was presently £180; if all the
outstanding monies are collected then this will rise to
£480.
- Pre-Season
Dinner 2008: Andy Parsons was unable to attend the meeting but reported
that the overall profit figure was £620.
Fixtures
Report
- Fixture
booklets: Dan Webb said that the fixture booklets had been completed and
would be printed and distributed in the next few
days.
Ground
Report
- Square:
Matthew Stevenson said that he thought the square was playing well,
certainly much better than last season. He did say, however, that there
was a problem with occasional low bounce towards the end of a match or
on the second day if a pitch is used twice.
- Outfield:
Matthew Stevenson said that the outfield was in excellent condition,
better than for several years, and he complimented Keith Neave on his
efforts.
- Shed: Dan Webb
reported that the new shed will be arriving on
Thursday.
- Machinery: Dan
Webb suggested that we should set up a capital investment plan to
replace (or upgrade) one item of machinery every year.
Fund
Raising Report
- Annual Dinner:
Dan Webb said that this event had been a great success; Andy Parsons was
unable to attend the meeting but reported that the overall profit figure
was £620.
