After some discussion it was agreed not to change the fixture as the Second XI. QM to ring Sandy Lane. QM said that he would institute a new system for the payment of cautions. QM would bring the forms to the meeting and be reimbursed by JS. A player from each team would be tasked with collecting the fine from the player concerned. This was agreed. QM said that he would like to get back to the system whereby the paperwork from both Saturday games would be collected in the Angel and then posted through his letterbox at the weekend. This was agreed. 3 Sunday Secretary’s Report DP said there was nothing to report. 4 Treasurer’s Report JS said that as stated at the AGM the club had £660.05 in the bank and £48.12 in cash. Since the AGM we had received £1,465 in income and spent £1,375.02 and therefore the balance was £798.15. The principle expenditure was: £358.56 for the pitch, £360 players insurance, £190 League fees, £200 on referees(?) and £107 on kits and footballs. JS said he had been to the bank and obtained a form whereby the number of signatories could be increased from 2 to 4. David Parker and Quenton Martin would be the other signatories. 5 Fund raising DP said that there were about 78 members of the 100 Club. Two people were in arrears but they paid annually and he expected them to pay. GC said that Asa was continuing to organise domino cards on a Saturday. N Barlow said that subs would be collected before the end of September Race night – it was agreed to organise a Race Night for the last Thursday in November. DP would ask the new landlord about the date and also see if the company was available to do it on that day. 6 Managers reports First XI – NB season not started but training going OK. Second XI – Season not started. Sunday – Season not started. Ground Improvements NB thanked Michael Haran for painting the changing rooms. MM said that they had attempted to mend the broken fence posts but these had once again been vandalized. DP said that after his meeting with a Councillor any vandalism should be reported to the police in order that a file could be built up. This may help our case if we were to try and lever some funds from the Council. 8 Any Other Business Presentation night - A discussion took place concerning presentation night. It was agreed in 2007/08 a more formal event should be organized. N Barlow said that he had met with Ian Day from the Council with regard to improving the facilities at the ground. I Day said that now the land at the old Ferniehurst school site had been approved for house building it would be his intention that the developer should sign a Section 106 agreement whereby they agreed to make a contribution to local amenities. One such amenity would be the improvement of the facilities at the Dell, possibly including the bowls club. NB said that we may be in a position to contribute something to any changing room improvements. QM said that the issue of the lease needed resolving as there was less than two years left to run. After some discussion it was agreed unanimously that we accept the Council’s current offer that meant an increase of £100 a year rent.
