1.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
JT thanked all those for attending the AGM and congratulated both teams
on last season's success. He stressed the importance on disciplined behaviour
on the pitch from every player selected and ensuring goodwill to both
referees and opposition. This was in light of a number of clubs losing
points for poor discipline and the loss of two referees from the league.
2.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
AM reminded the club of the importance of the disciplinary
code. The proposals for season 2000-2001 were discussed and the fine
levies agreed. He thanked last year's officers and committee members for
all their efforts on behalf on the club and congratulated both captains
on a really excellent season both on and off the field.
3.
SECRETARY'S REPORT
PH confirmed that the club had entered: 1stX1 for Arthur Dunn, London
Old Boys and AFA Senior cups. 2nd X1 for the Junior League and AFA Inter
Cups. He congratulated the skippers on team morale and team spirit and
stressed the importance of having both sides at Cobham albeit expensive.
4. TREASURER'S REPORT
RG advised of list of bad debtors. Nearly £1,000 still outstanding and
stressed the importance of recouping these monies. Outgoings are getting
higher and the club can not afford to carry these debtors. Current balance
is £4,200 but expenditure on Cobham and Battersea due shortly.
5.
CAPTAIN'S REPORT
AP was pleased with the player's enthusiasm throughout the season. Training
on Monday and Wednesday nights had been well attended. He was concerned
with the numbers of players currently available and especially the lack
of youth. He will contact contemporaries of the Rum lads.
6.
RECRUITMENT
NB advised that for the future of the club we need an influx of 18-25
year olds. Suggested a sub-committee of himself, BW and AP to discuss
proposals. OL Day on 16 September would be a good occasion to try to get
some youths to make their debuts.
