COMMITTEE MEETING
WEDNESDAY 10TH FEBRUARY 2010
7.30 AT CLUBHOUSE
1. APOLOGIES: Chris Evans, Barry Morse, Louise Rankin and Phil Lidstone
IN ATTENDANCE: Jim Phillips, Geoff Harrison, Steve Taylor, Andy Burgess and Terry Gover
2. MATTERS ARISING:
(I) Nets: It was considered a solid start to winter nets, with the number of players and committee members present. The facilities were found to have been not of the highest standard, but the only real concern was the lack of our young players in attendance.
(II) Contact List: unfortunately only half the committee has contacted their allocation of members, so this is still ongoing, hopefully to be complete before next month’s meeting.
(III)Tour: There has been a limited response to Chris Evans’ email, therefore it was agreed to give one more chance for people to take part, by sending one more email asking members to contact Steve Taylor, who is now taking over the task of compiling names of interested parties. It was also agreed to judge interest at Sunday’s net session. Should there not be enough takers the decision will be made next month to cancel the tour and to fulfil the Saturday fixture.
(IV) Club Together: The application form was duly completed and Andy agreed to pass it to Louise in order to pay the membership cost
(V) Groundwork: With Barry not in attendance a schedule of work could not be put together, it was agreed the ground committee would meet after nets, on Sunday 21st February to see what can be arranged
(VI) Presentation Day: Dave Tyrrell’s offer of organising an Aussie BBQ was gratefully accepted. Terry said his brother may be able to bring his race car simulator, if available, and Jim said he’d try and arrange a near the hole golf game. Louise sent an offer to help to organise the event. Terry also put forward an idea of players voting for m.o.m. and “champagne moments” from each game during the season, with the winners receiving an award on the presentation day.
(VII) Finances: Terry announced the club is £3,800 in the black and said he felt that the proposed fundraising concert was not necessarily a priority with everything else going on. Also Hartwell are hoping to be able to offer us £500 in sponsorship, the committee also decided that we didn’t want this to mean just another change of kit. It was thought any sponsorship should be put to a more beneficial use for the club.
(VIII) Ground Boards: Terry proposed that a board be put on the score hut advertising the ground as the home of Hamble c.c. That was taken further with members saying that boards could be erected around the boundary, advertising club sponsors.
3. MATTERS OUTSTANDING FROM THURSDAY 14TH JANUARY.
(I) Phil Lidstone: A policy document for u18’s has now been put together, and the signing on form has been amended to include all contact details, including emergency contacts and a signature will be required from Parent/guardian for u18’s. It was considered that this was entirely appropriate, even though the signing on form is quite lengthy. The committee decided that all must be done to comply with the parts of the ECB document that apply to us, also that if we were ever in a position to restart a youth policy, a good part of the necessary requirements would already be in place. Also it was mentioned to put a disclaimer on the form, so members are aware that they need to arrange their own PI insurance, if they consider it necessary.
(II) Chris Evans: Chris asked Andy to forward the format for the fixture card, in order for his contact to put together a sample.
(III) Steve Taylor: Steve announced that the band he had hoped to book were unlikely to be available, Geoff said he would contact a band that he recommended, to check availability. Though this is not considered a priority it is still a worthwhile avenue to explore.

4. FOR THE NEXT MEETING:
(I) CHAIRMAN: Contact Kelvin regarding progress with the club website, and giving both secretaries access to it. Contact Darren Maple re the various proposed boards and signs to be put around the ground.
(II) CLUB SECRETARY: Send email regarding the tour to all members on email list. Email Steve Taylor with advert for new players, which Steve said he would give to Holt and Haskell. Create a sign for the nets to be put up at the school when practise is in progress. Get the Club Together form to Louise in order to arrange payment. Send a copy of the fixture card format to Chris Evans. Invoice the club for match balls purchased for Evening League. Speak to Mrs Burgess re 3rd XI teas.

NEXT MEETING SET FOR WEDNESDAY 10 MARCH, 7.30 AT CLUBHOUSE.
