Minutes of the last AGM:

Mr Chairman – has no minutes (computer virus has wiped them out!!) – can’t think there was anything of importance to comment upon……other than 1st year of the 2nd XI, increase fees, loss of Groundsman etc, etc….

JPS will put together a file note detailing the main items and pass them to the Secretary for safekeeping and posterity

Chairman’s Report:

JP gave a précis about the season’s highlights:

* The square good outcome – due to the persistence of CCCC with the Parish Council (JP/IRM)

* Pre-Season nets – success with timing and location

* “2nd Team” much improved playing record

* “1st Team” significant personal performances, disappointing season after the start we had.

* Nets on a Thursday – well attended – incidents were handled and we move on but they must not be repeated.

* IRM’s umpiring – Impartial, consistent and noted on more than one occasion by the opposition

* Fixture Card – To be in same format next season

* Thanks to Ricky for organising the shirts

* Thanks to Harry May for his ongoing support as “Tea Lady”

* Deferred 7-a-side competition – disappointing that it didn’t go ahead…maybe next season?

* Sightscreens – disappointing that we didn’t get those resolved – (IRM/Barney)

* Treat the facilties at Boyes Lane with respect – be ambassadors for the club and also for Colden Common – the Parish Council are hugely supportive let’s repay their faith in us by keeping the facilities in good order.

Report by 1st Team Captain;

Report by Nigel Champion….

* A little disappointed because we ultimately underachieved – great players, but don’t always play as a team.

* Unable to put the same 11 players on the pitch 2 weeks running

* Won first 5 matches and then got skittled 3 consecutive times for less than 90 against some poor teams.

* Lack of application by the batsmen was a major disappointment

* Catching also a negative – but there have been some good ones taken – Jamie Watts at Easton

* Positives – new players have contributed

* Individual batting performances – TJ and Mitch both got 100’s

* Excellent bowling performances by Ben Watts

* Excellent run scoring by TJ – 487 runs

* Overall C+ could do better

Report by 2nd Team Captain:

Report by Richie Stevens…..

* Initially captain was Chris James – until he had a few problems with his knee

* Won 6 and lost 6, two massacres, but otherwise a few close games and could have actually got a better win ratio

* New players coming in such as Tim Patience and Rich Andrews

* 3 x youngsters from the village – coming through

* Richie is already looking forward to next season with enthusiasm

* Real pleasure in seeing some young lads coming through

* Ideal is to get players through the team into the 1st XI

* Big help from Ricky and Chris

Social Secretary:

Report by Chris Mitchell…..

* Presentation Evening – Phoenix Inn – Friday 20th January - £50 deposit to be paid.

* Reintroduction of fines – needs to be done sensibly….

* Reintroduction of man of the match – Mike King will give 2 pints for the MoM.

* Internal competition – 10 pin bowling at Eastleigh.

* Tour – can we get this organised?

* Out of Season Events?

* Colden Common Beer Festival next September?

* Next season’s presentation evening must be organised for the end of season – 5th October 2012 to be the date.

* Polo shirts to be arranged for the forthcoming season

Ground Report:

Roger and Karl invited to the AGM and declined due to family commitments

Pitch has been prepared for each home game and only one poor report in a game where over 500 runs were scored!!

Karl not to be taken on full time by CCPC which means he will be looking for full time employment – letter of concern has been sent to CCPC.

Square has been loamed and prepared for winter – help from Fair Oak CC who have given considerable hours of help and advice and they are going to send a soil sample to the Hampshire ground staff to see what we need to do – to get more bounce!!!

If we do get a presentation evening organised then we must invite Roger and Karl to attend.

Sightscreens, netting, need to be addressed prior to next season
