1999 Winning season P20 W10 D1 L9

Minutes of the meeting held on 25^th November 1999 at the Duke of York, Lichfield.

Present; RJ, DF, CR, MP, DC, KG, PF, PG.

Apologies; SS, AH, JH, MH.

Item 1

We discussed membership briefly. Rob Allison will play occasionally but does not want to join – we’ll decide next year if we want to advertise for new members.

Car expenses – we decided that money will be divided by cars for games further than 30 miles – the cost will be 10p per mile. Below 30, sort out by car. DF noted that the club’s finances earned 21p this month.

Item 2

RJ thanked PG for his efforts over the last 8 years. DF thought PG should be awarded a match (stick) – MP thinks a night out with Madge is more appropriate. 2 fixtures against Trentside have been arranged. CR has a contact at Rosliston, (although they sounded a bit good). MP intends to organise a single wicket competition at the start of the season.

Item 3

Nets will commence at 8.00pm on 06.01.00 and finish on 30.03.00. Cost is £208 per 13 weeks. It’s possible that two nets could be available (confirmation after Xmas). With 2 nets costing £416, MH suggested a fee of £3. We decide to take up the option.

Item 4

MH noted we awaiting the badge design from PG. MH to take over looking after stumps, bails and balls. MP will keep kit and sort it out before 1^st net. Kit talks ensued.

Item 5

All agreed that 10 pin bowling evening was a success; it might be possible to organise another one. The battered stickleback was especially popular. An informal pitch and putt is organised for 28.11.99. Apparently Darnford lane is also a good venue. Xmas social, 11.12.99 at The Scales, 7.30pm.

The next test series is against W Indies. Test trip to be sorted out, should be on the agenda for the next meeting.

Item 6

PG agreed to act as tour co-ordinator. We are looking at a 2 fixture weekend.
