Financial Matters

• MW gave a succinct account of the current position, the nub being that we are +£164.47
• The rub was that a parsimonious phalanx were still owing for 1998
• It was decided that the status quo would stand ie subs would be payable for 1999 at the current rate of £10

Committee

• There was considerable debate re the nature of captaincy and the requirement for personal and collective responsibility ….
• As a result of the discussions the following elections occurred;

Captain
(without responsibility,other than on the pitch) Paul O’Connor
Co-ordinator
( a new post to do all the fetching and carrying for the skip) Matt Gummer
Assistant Co-ordinator
(to do anything the co-ordinator cannot be bothered to do) Andy Lee (an unelected post)
Fixture Sec
Chris Lewis
Treasurer
Mike Welbrock
Hon Sec
Dave Muir

Fixtures

• This all got a bit mixed up with discussions on; tours, committee, the nature of captaincy and the need for personal and collective responsibility, so excuse my notes
• The upshot appeared to be that we would play;

3 bona fixtures
2 mini tours
1 grand tour

• There was no concensus over which 3 fixtures but the following gained at least some support;

  Downe
  Sun Inn
  Chadlington
  AN Other in Cambridgeshire

• As always Fix Sec can only do what is humanely possible

Nets

• These to be adhoc as for the last few years but remember whites at Lords and no bowling down the leg side Bruce

Tours

• Given our phenomenal success as tourists (at getting a full team on the pitch just after kick off) a great surge of emotion engulfed the attendees
• Perhaps Red Bat needed to tour more often?
• There was no dissent to this and the following is therefore mooted;
  

  Mini tour to Suffolk probably 12/13 June fix PS accom PB
  Mini tour to Oxfordshire probably July fix DM accom CL
  Grand Tour to Matlock Aug Bank hol Fix PS accom JA

• More details to follow perhaps even in this envelope if I do not get my finger out and get the minutes sent out soonest

Kit

• We need some; bats, Gloves(LH),short arsed pads
• DM to audit the bag and come up with a wish list

Debbies Party

• It’s a bit late now but Debbie invited you all to a party
