ANTHONY AXFORD BOLTON CRICKET LEAGUE

 

MINUTES OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING

 

HELD AT BRADSHAW C.C.

 

10th DECEMBER 2007

 

 

Apologies: None. Astley Bridge and Little Lever were not represented. The Secretary reported that Mike Hall had experienced what is hoped to be a minor health scare.

 

Minutes of the November Meeting: The Secretary said he had made an error in recording that Tony Hayes would be meeting with Martin Axford, when he had volunteered to meet with the LCB. The minutes were then approved as a correct record.

 

Matters Arising: Clubs were reminded to let Rod Sandiford know the number of balls required. It was agreed that if the type of ball or supplier were to change in the future, clubs would be permitted to use up stocks of balls purchased through the League.

Derek Kay had been in touch with Martin Axford, but had not been able to arrange a meeting. The Committee agreed that if the parties could not resolve the matter, the League should continue with the stance agreed at the October meeting. There was a short discussion about the points raised in Farnworth’s Solicitors original letter.

The Secretary and Andy Bowker will be meeting Paul Rayment tomorrow evening to discuss the Bolton Cricket Website.

 

Fixtures 2008: It was agreed the fixtures from 20th September would be played on 20th July, with a club requiring this date for a National or Lancashire KO match given dispensation to play their Bolton League matches on 31st August. All other matches will be played on the original date. Arrangements in case of inclement weather will be made at the February meeting.

 

Any Other Business: Heaton have had a number of items of ground equipment stolen, including; a Robin Strimmer, Sisis Auto Greenman Spiker/Slitter, 500cc JAP Engine and yellow Sisis Scarifier.

£1900 is still outstanding, mainly from the Junior Presentation. Clubs have been invoiced and are reminded there is a 10% surcharge for money outstanding at the end of December.

Gemma from Bradshaw will be scoring for all matches at the Axford Indoor KO.

There is an umpire’s course at Astley Bridge from 8th January.

 

Date of Next Meeting: 28th January 2008.
