Chairman's Report |
|
|
|
|
The Chairman thanked the Captain, Secretary, Treasurer and Fixture Secretary for their hard work behind the scenes over the season. He
thanked club members for their continued support. The team contained a good mix of abilities and everyone had fitted in well ? including those new members who had joined by way of
another pre-season recruitment campaign. The fixture list was excellent and contained a good range of teams of varying abilities. He thanked the tour organisers, Ken Block and Richard
Abigail, for arranging an excellent tour to Lancashire. The team had successfully represented SPARTA at the Corporate Games, reaching the semi-finals and had also successfully retained
the 6-a-side cricket trophy at the SPARTA Sports Day. He praised the club for its role in enhancing inter-departmental and departmental team spirit and promoting sport for all. |

Treasurer's Report |
|
|
|
|
The provisional accounts were considered and looked in order. The club was grateful for the additional funds provided by SPARTA to cover the
costs of increased pitch fees. The accounts would be audited as soon as trophies had been brought, with a view to submitting then to SPARTA before the end of the year. Next year?s proposed
SPARTA bid was also considered and approved. The increased bid was necessary to cover the additional pitch costs levied by Chiswick. The club wished to point out that it had provided
guaranteed funds for the CSSC for nearly 20 years in the form of pitch fees and also significant expenditure in the clubhouse. It was sorry that such a commitment appeared to be rewarded
by a significant increases in fees from previous years. So much for the CSSC being owned by the members for the members. |

Election of Officers |
|
|
|
|
One motion was put before the AGM related to membership of the committee - that Matt Conway be elected vice-captain (nominated by Ken Block,
seconded by Steve Meyler). Michael Taylor chose not to stand for re-election to the post of vice-captain. Matt Conway was elected unopposed. Matt Conway stood down as a committee member
in view of the fact that members are not allowed to be an officer of the club and a general committee member. Other committee members were re-elected unopposed. Elected officers are as follows-

Arrangements for 2005 Season |
|
|
|
|
It was agreed that if possible the number of fixtures for next year should be similar to this year. It was stressed that Ken Block
puts a lot of hard work into arranging fixtures each season and members should make similar efforts to make themselves available for these. It was noted that on a few occasions
this season, players had been selected to play but had then not turned up for the match and not informed anyone. Players should always notify the captain or fixture secretary
as far in advance as possible if they cannot turn up for a match. |

Any Other Business |
|
|
|
|
Members agreed to arrange another advertising campaign in March/April to recruit new players. Richard Abigail would circulate a
poster to the same members who had arranged for these to be placed in their respective buildings last year. It was agreed that club subscriptions would remain the same for the coming year.
Tour arrangements to Somerset for the coming season were in hand. Ken Block and Steve Meyler would arrange fixtures, and Simon Gundry agreed to arrange accommodation. It
is proposed to book nets at the Oval for pre-season practice, starting on Tuesday 1st March. The club would once again look to put forward a team for next year?s
Corporate Games subject to SPARTA?s agreement. It was agreed that the annual social and awards night would be held in February at a venue to be arranged. |
