3. Matters Arising
- At the previous meeting Ben and myself
were asked to evaluate the state of all sightscreens, and decide whether to
buy new ones for the start of the season. It was decided that with a
little attention the 3rd team screen can be salvaged for another year.
Steve Francis has kindly volunteered to carry out this work and throughtout
the season will build a replica for next year for a discount price. Any
help with labour would be greatly appreciated.
- An invoice for this seasons Saturday
League cricket balls/umpire fees has been received and will be
paid by Thommo.

website.

players from last season. It was proposed and carried that letters will
be sent to the relevant individuals highlighting this fact.

jackets for the club.

the Sunday Vice-Captain not being a committee member, it has been agreed that
the proposal to change this rule will come at the next AGM. In the
mean time the committee feel it prudent to invite Alan Patmore to all committee
meetings.
