It was a good end of season presentation with Dave Letch presenting the trophies. The sponsors with John Heddle turned out a good team and it was a good game. The food was excellent and it was a successful event. Carole commented that it is the 10th anniversary this year and we would return to discuss this later in the meeting. Carole thanked the committee members for all their work over the past year and thanks to all the club reps for attending the meetins on behalf of their clubs. Carole hoped that Beaumont Seymour would be able to continue with their sponsorship next season. Carole thanked David Jones for all his work with the fixtures and the web-site and particularly for the reports in the paper. 5. Secretary’s Report. Tizzy thanked the rest of the committee for their support during the season, especially when e-mails did not always work promptly. The secretary’s job is not a difficult one and Tizzy said that she had taken on the role for 2 years and hoped this would be now taken on by someone from another club. She felt that all the clubs should share in the rotation of the positions on the committee. 6. Treasurer’s Report This was not available at this meeting and will be asked to be presented at the First committee meeting. 7. Fixtures Secretary Report. David said he had received score sheets from each game and the fixtures were on the web-site. Everything seemed to work much better this year and he didn’t have to chase too many teams. Well done to everyone. David asked that teams always let him know when a game is not played as you cannot assume weather is the same where all matches are played. There is a web page for each club although not much appears yet. If you want something there send the information and David will put it on. He agreed that photos could be used, again if sent to him. Match Reports must be with him by Monday evening at the latest. 8. Election of Officers. Carole Warren Chairman, Debbie Guppy Vice- Chairman Cheryl Pinch Treasurer were all re elected Proposed Chris Rowland Seconded Shirley Smith Secretary Sophie Southgate Proposed Lisa Waby Seconded Sally Cade Unanimous 9] At this point it was necessary to consider the application of Woodham Mortimer to join the league. Proposed Sally Cade Seconded Chris Rowland This was unanimously agreed The fixture list is as it is on the web site but take out The Police. The season will run from May 4th to August 3rd. If there are fixtures you want to change, please let David Jones know by March 31st. 10. Training Discussion took place about Indoor and/or Outdoor training. Clive Earley would be able and willing to support this as a coach. Investigation of coast and availability of the Essex indoor facilities will be made as well as any availability of school premises in Colchester. The University will be investigated as a possible venue. It could also be that a training session outside one evening might be arranged. To be discussed and finalised at the first committee meeting. Liaise with Clive Earley. 11. New Proposals. 1] NEDCB – Discussion on the Objectives and Action. Clive talked through this proposal and it was voted and agreed to be accepted. Basically the grass roots are with the clubs to get girls interested in the game. Proposer Teresa Harper Seconder Sally Cade Unanimous 2] After discussion it was agreed that no formal proposal could be made but the consensus of the feeling was that the League teams represented at the meeting would not support players being approached by other clubs in the same league. 3] Discussion took place regarding clubs cancelling games which left other clubs with expenses. It was felt that if here was a complaint to be made that it should be brought to the committee who would deal with it. 13] Dates of meetings – to be agreed at the end of the meeting. 14] AOB. Tenth Anniversary. Carole had spoken to a member of Abberton club who said there was to be a celebration week at the beginning of September for Abberton and as there was going to be a marquee on the ground for the week it was offered to the Ladies League on September 2nd. This was seen to be a good idea and would be taken forward to the first committee meeting. Cricket Balls The decision was made that the correct size 5oz ball should be used. Club Reps. Please confirm the club rep by the end of the month. First committee meeting 14th March. Essex Rep. Gt Waltham volunteered to attend this meeting.
