4. Election of Officers for 2000:

Committee Member - Kim Matthews
Captain - John Carr
Vice-Captain - Neil Priest
Honorary Auditor - Sue Adey
5. Subscriptions and Match Fees for 2000
5.1 It was agreed that membership should remain at £5 and that match fees would be £3 a game.
6. Selection Policy for 2000
6.1 It was agreed that the best eleven should be selected each week but that nobody should have to miss two matches in a row.
Action: John Carr/Neil Priest. 7. Fixtures:
7.1 It was agreed that there should be no more fixtures against Barnsbury Eagles as they had proved to be too unreliable. John Adey would speak to John Hassall about this. Action: John Adey.
7.2 Medroc M25 wanted to play at least one fixture. Members who knew of other teams who wanted fixtures were asked to e-mail the details to John Adey. Action: Members.
7.3 It was agreed that home games at Regent’s Park should be avoided if possible.
7.4 It was agreed that the same balance of evening, afternoon and weekend games should be kept for 2000.
7.5 It was agreed that teas at Chiswick were a rip-off. If the opposition agreed, players would be responsible for providing their own teas at Chiswick.
7.6 John Adey would send out an e-mail asking for a volunteer to organise the fixtures for 2000. This would include details of what was involved. Action: John Adey.
8. Averages for 2000
8.1 It was agreed that the averages should be circulated after every four games. David Pope proposed that they should include run outs. This was agreed. Action: Phil McBarron.
8.2 Members were reminded of the need to produce match reports in good time – preferably before the next match.
9. Closed Season Activities
Winter Nets
9.1 Nets had been booked at the Oval. Andrew Crawford would circulate details nearer the time. It was agreed that they should no longer be subsidised by the club this year.
Action: Andrew Crawford. Social Events
9.2 The horse racing evening had been a social if not financial success. The end of season social had also been reasonably well attended. However, members were reminded of the need to support any events that were organised.
10. Any Other Business
10.1 Neil Benn agreed to organise availability charts for next season.
Action: Neil Benn.
10.2 Membership fees were to be paid from 1 January 2000.
Action: Andrew Crawford to remind members.
10.3 Kevin Roper agreed to place an advert for members on the Infonet.
Action: Kevin Roper.
10.4 John Adey proposed that John Doyle should become a honorary life member of the club. This was carried.
10.5 It was agreed that the kit bag would be sorted out at the first winter net session. Neil Priest and Sian Brown had bought new wicket-keeping gloves – although they had not yet arrived from Malaysia! Kevin Roper had bought rubbers for the bat handles and would buy inners for the wicket keeping gloves.
Action: Kevin Roper.
11. Date of Next Meeting
11.1 It was agreed that the next AGM should be in March 2000, so that the accounts could be considered closer to the financial year in question.
