Matters Arising

Annual subscriptions: Tony Hewston reported that the club selection policy, which requires all players to be fully paid up members in order to be eligible for selection, had been successfully implemented this season.

Selection: Tony Hewston reported that there had been a number of selection issues since the last committee meeting but they have hopefully now been resolved.
Captains’ reports: Zamir Khan reported that the 1st XI had had a disappointing start to the TVCL season, and Razaq Ishaq reported likewise for the 2nd XI; Tariq Gulfishan reported a good start for the 3rd XI with two wins and a draw from the first three matches; Mudho Ahmed, Gareth Noot reported good starts for the Sunday 1st and 2nd XIs; Dan Webb reported that Keith Neave had resigned as Sunday 3rd XI captain and that Tom Day had taken over.
Junior report: Phil Noot reported a good start to the junior season, with already more matches played than in the whole of last year’s rain-interrupted season.
Overseas player: Matthew Stevenson reported that Mohammad Shujaudin had been registered with the TVCL as an overseas player but, further to the discussions at previous meetings when it was decided that we could not afford a non-paying player this season, he has also paid an annual subscription and will pay a full match fee for every game he plays.
President’s Day: it was agreed that Tariq Gulfishan will skipper the club XI; Tony Hewston asked all the captains to take availability for the day (Friday, 8th August) so that the club XI can be selected at the next selection meeting.
Teas: all the captains reported that making our own teas again was going well.

Financial report: in the absence of Murray Scott there was no report.
Match fees: all the captains said that they were up-to-date with the banking of match fees.
Club kit: Mandeep Gill was unable to attend the meeting but reported that, as there had been some problems with the sizes on the club kit order, the profit will only be £280.

Sunday 3rd XI: Dave Nolder reported that he had now arranged a full fixture list for the Sunday 3rd XI.

Square: Dan Webb reported that £185 had been spent on weed killer and feed for the square; Matthew Stevenson said that he thought the square was playing very well, with just occasional low bounce.
Outfield: Dan Webb reported that the overgrown area around the boundary and picket fence had been sprayed with sodium chloride; the outfield is in excellent condition.
Shed: Dan Webb reported that the new shed had arrived; Dave Nolder offered to paint it a dark green colour and Zamir Khan offered to supply the paint.
Machinery: Dan Webb reported that all the machinery was presently working well, but that none of it had been serviced for at least two years due to the club’s financial problems; Tariq Gulfishan said that he knew someone who might be able to get the servicing done at a reasonable rate; Zamir Khan said that he is be able to purchase lawn mowers and other machinery at a good rate if the club decided to make this investment.

Grant: Ben Kunicki reported that we had received a grant of £300 from the Bucks Playing Fields Association.
CRB Clearance: Ben Kunicki reported that he was still waiting on Damien Dunlop, the ECB Development Officer for Bucks, re getting all the relevant people CRB cleared.

Practice facility: Phil Noot expressed a concern that senior players were using the facility at a time when it was reserved for the juniors, namely Friday evenings from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.
Covers: Phil Noot also said that more help was needed re putting the covers on after a junior match, because they are heavy to push and it requires at least four adults to move each one into place.
