In attendance
Barry Morse, Jim Phillips, Chris Mottolla, Dave
Fielder, Terry Gover, George Power, Andy Burgess
and Ed Butcher.
1. Appologies:
Lenny Delimore, Kelvin Sequeira, Chris Evans,
Mark Williams and Aazaz Khan
2. Minutes of previous meeting:
Minutes accepted
3. Actions from previous meeting:
(I) It was decided by Barry Morse and Bill Cross
that a new mower was not necessary, as we got
a second hand one from another club. Though some
thought will have to be given to properly aerating
and scarifying the square at the end of the season.
(II) It was generally accepted that we are too
far into the season to worry about fixture cards,
Kelvin is currently costing the printing of cards
though if they are too expensive they will be
dropped this year.
(III) The web page is now up and running, Kelvin
has been paid for his services. It was also said
that the new selection policy and code of conduct
will be posted on the site. Jim Phillips has collated
a history of Hamble ASSC cricket club, post aerostructures,
and the hope is this will also go on the website.
(IV) The new shirts for the 3rd XI and junior
sides are now in use, the caps are on the way
from holt and haskell and should be available
in the next couple of weeks.
(V) Chris Evans managed to secure £1880
in funding from the Butlocks Heath Trust, to be
used for the improvement of the junior section,
the hope is it can be put towards a new artificial
strip at the kings avenue ground.
4. Selection policy:
Andy Burgess brought to the forum his concerns
regarding the attitude of people, with reference
to
the policy of including u15s, and the fact that
this leaves only 8 places for selection each week.
There have been many grumbles around the club
regarding selection and some people feel they
should be included every week. Andy pointed out
that he wants to encourage the progression of
not just the u15s but also the 18,19 & 20's
though this doesn't seem to be met with universal
approval. Andy offered to resign if this would
stop any instability, this suggestion was immediately
rebuffed and he was told by the committee to carry
on in line with the club selection policy. Andy
was also told that it would be a good idea to
be part of the selection procedure earlier than
when it starts to effect the 3rds selection, in
order to put forward any cases for his players
to be included in the senior teams.
5. Teas:
Chris Mottolla brought up that he thought that
the teas provided by the social club, were too
expensive, and did not meet the standard of teas
provided by other clubs. It was also mentioned
that some people of ethnic origins felt that there
could be more vegetarian food and the meat and
vegetarian food served on separate plates. Andy
Burgess pointed out that while he did not have
any problem with the teas as such, he did have
a problem with the cost, as at the outground the
3rds have to do all their own housework. Whereas
the 1st/2nd team don't have to clear up, wash
up and hoover up. So this makes the teas for the
3rds very expensive. Barry Morse was very defensive
of the teas supplied and made the valid point
that no complaints have been made before, it was
therefore agreed that Ed, Chris and Barry would
meet the chef to discuss any changes that could
be made.
6.Sunday team/ 4th Team
The idea of a 4th team was generally thought to
be too much for the club at this moment in time,
due to the regular playing resources not being
of a sufficient number. It was thought that a
sunday team could be workable, though again it
would obviously need the support of the players.
It would also require a couple of people to arrange
fixtures and select the team etc. The suggestion
was made that the idea would be put on hold until
the captains had the oppertunity to speak to the
players. There was aslo an idea put to the committee
that some kind of merger with hedge end could
be broached. When Andy suggested that sunday cricket
would be an ideal oppertunity to give the u15s
an experience of longer matches than they are
used to, without the pressure of league games,
it was greeted with almost total silence!
7. Ground issues:
It was asked that the stationary practise net,
used mainly by the u15s, be finished off, i.e.marked
out and the net secured to the ground. Barry pointed
out that he thought it was more important to finish
painting the screens & score hut, that was
not done pre season, than completing the resource
used by the juniors. It was therefore agreed to
try and arrange another working party to complete
the work, and maybe have a knock about game after.
This is to take place on Sunday 13th July 2008.
Chris also raised the point that he thought the
boundary on the football pitch side was too big,
and he wanted it brought in by 5m. The committee
had a vote and it was carried by a margin of 4-3,
Chris was then asked to liase with Barry and Bill
to have the boundary marked where he wanted it.
8. Portsmouth dog meeting:
Andy Burgess purchased, on behalf of the club,
50 tickets for thePortsmouth greyhound stadium
on 29/07/08. These cost the club £54.08
and have a cover value of £200. The idea
was that each member of the committee sells 4
or 5 tickets to players,family, friendsor indeed
anyone they know. Despite no negative replies
to the email sent out prior to purchasing the
tickets, and no negative feedback when the idea
was discussed after nets, it now appears that
people are reluctant to go and therefore sell
tickets. It was pointed out by George Power and
Andy that this appathy is totally pointless now,
as the reality is we have 50 tickets to sell and
if we don't the club has just wasted over £50.
Something we are in no position to do. So the
upshot is we have to shift the tickets!
9.Youth academy update:
It was said that the academy is still on track,
and indeed has the support of the Hampshire youth
developement office. Grieg Stewart, one of the
developement officers, has agreed to come to the
next meeting next month. It has been said that
along with the grant that Chris Evans secured,
we could be eligible for ECB funding too. Barry
Morse agreed to approach the factory's managing
director in order to get permission to put an
artificial strip on the home ground.
11.AOB:
The transfer of Jack Buss from Mansbridge, was
brought up, though no communication has been received
from the league so he is still ineligable for
the club. Ed had contacted Chris Evans in a bid
to find out from Jack what he had done with the
transfer form he was given.
Kelvin is keen to arrange a club tour to Goa,
the idea was greeted warmly but of course it needs
to be costed. The message was that if Kelvin could
put together a proper costed plan, then it would
be discussed at the next meeting in more detail.
Colts Academy
Aazaz's Idea for a youth academy, from u11 up,
to be based at Hamble CC was unanimously agreed.
The plan,which hopefully will be up and running
next season (2009), has the backing of many Hampshire
players. Who have agreed to put some of there
own time into coaching. There will also be transport
to the ground from an arranged pick up point,
and Aazaz will arrange publicity and advertising
to encourage as many local children as possible
to be included. While Hamble may have to provide
some funding it is hoped that grants will be available,
also there will be a joining fee payable. After
the first year it is hoped the academy will be
self financing. The benefits to the club as a
whole and the Cricket section in particular, make
the proposal a very exciting one.
