Key Points
- CDO is in negotiation with church to extend lease on ground, thus hopefully allowing us to apply for significant funding to redevelop the ground. We have some grand plans.
- we will probably be splitting the race night/presentation evening into two events in 2007
- the committee would really like more 2nd team representation at committee level but apart form Danny Moriarty, no one was forthcoming - this may be addressed at subsequent committee meetings
- the 100 club is very poorly subscribed, with many people feeling that it's not a decent money earner (only 3 of last night's attendees are currently in it). With this in mind, Duncan is relaunching the club in July - letters will go out to all members
- Richard Peacock showed that we make a loss on match day subs, but with a revamp of the 100 club and so on, subs will remain the same for 2007. With that in mind, we will be urging club members to contribute in any other ways they can eg match ball sponsorship. A couple of folks have expressed an interest already.
- It costs us an average of 180 pounds to stage a home game!!!!!!!! This figure includes umpires/scorers/teas/groundwork/rent/insurance etc.
- Kieran showed the new posters asking for new players "from 16 to 60". The club felt that last year's youth policy wasn't a roaring success, as it attracted Duncan Phillips, who is now pushing 85, and Pete Allen, whose age is indeterminate
- Phil McManus and Stu Hunter indicated new player interest from their brother/offspring. Even if we combine their ages and multiply by 3 they'll still be younger than Boris
The second team turn out was :- Myself, Stu Hunter, Mick Jones, Phil Yates, Nick Fletcher, Phil McManus, Andy Smith
Stu Hunter and Phil McManus both may have players coming down, i may also have 1 or 2 coming.
