Chairman’s Report: 

TL said that it had been a very good year, both on the pitch, with promotion in the TC, and socially. The meeting expressed its thanks for TL’s five years as Chairman.

Secretary’s Report:  

We will now have two teams in the TC – Div. 7 and Div. 8S on Saturdays and just one team in the PiriPiri – Div. 2. If necessary, we may seek some Sunday friendlies. There are no rule changes which affect us in either league. The PC have proposed a play area between the ground and Heath Road, to which we have objected There will be a Planning Inspectorate visit in January, at which we will be represented.

Treasurer’s Report:  

See separate report. There was a provisional surplus of £2,595.52 which was a very good performance.  The auto-subscription system seemed to work well . The bar did not return quite as much as last year but still made a very good profit: the meeting expressed it thanks to PJ for this. We have £5,963.42 in our current account. The meeting expressed its thanks to BN for his work.

The accounts were approved, subject to final audit, unanimously by the meeting.

Subscription/match fee packages for 2013 will be arranged based on the following costings:

Senior subs: £60, match fees £8

Ladies:  £30, match fees £5

Juniors/students:  subs. £40, match fees £5

Teas: all members who play 6 or more games will be expected to do a tea, and they will receive £25 cash-back for this. However, we will continue to seek someone to do teas on a regular basis, and if we are successful in this, this policy may will be reviewed.

Director of Cricket’s Report:

KS said that the club is moving in the right direction. We need a couple of good batsmen for next year. Coaching will be important.
