Minutes
of Last Meeting
- It
was agreed that the minutes of the last
meeting were an accurate record.
Matters
Arising
- Neil
Lathey noted that nobody backs him up (when
appealing against infringements) and
suggested that we use an 11th man as
referee. No-one could be found to second
the idea.
- It
was generally agreed that the playing
referee works to a degree, and the
present format is to continue (a player
can refuse to ref if he so wishes)
- It
was agreed that the secretary will
continue to be exempt from the weekly
subscription fee next season, as
recompense for organising players each
week.
Chairman's
Report
- Martin
noted that it was good to have a surplus
of players (we only had one game this
year with 9, one didn't turn up and
didn't phone up, did you Jay)
- Adrian
was commended on his excellent
maintenance of the website (although, on
the homepage, Dave looked remarkably like
Geoff for a week or two!)

report
- The
Treasurer presented his report, cash flow
statement, register report and itemised
category report.
- Steve
Nicholson is to audit the accounts.
- The
Treasurer informed the meeting that the
end of season surplus is £56. It was
agreed that the surplus be used for the
following.

Election
of officers for season 2000 / 2001

- Martin Islip to continue for a further
season.

- Peter Smith has decided to stand down.
Steve Nicholson is to be the the new
treasurer. The members offered thanks to
the outgoing treasurer for 2 years
faithful service to the club.
- Secretary
- Adrian Burch to continue for a further
season.
Player
of the season award
- The
player of the season was confirmed as
Gordon Bell with 7 POD awards.
Runner-up was Adrian with 5.
Any
other business
- Neil Lathey suggested that all available
players turn up each week and rotate the
teams so that everybody had the same
number of kicks at the ball. No-one could
be found to second the motion. (I made
that bit up, about the same no. of kicks,
but it sounded good!)
- Andy Missen proposed playing on another
night of the week rather than Wednesday.
Even Neil didn't support this idea!
- Martin proposed a far more complicated
method of choosing teams (it is currently
at Gordon and Peter's discretion) which
no-one could understand, least of all
Martin.
- It was suggested we look into buying our
own nets. Peter offered to have a look
and see what he can find.
- The
meeting requested Geoff Moore to continue
as social secretary for the club. Geoff
was not there and was accepted in
absentia.
- The
meeting closed at 10:30 p.m. (A good time
was had by all)
