1. President's report

Jeremy T thanked those for attending the AGM and highlighted the need for the new players to join the club. Once new players become available, it is vital that we look after them, make them feel welcome and ensure they enjoy playing for the club. Secondly, it is his intention to work at the direct debit list and try to secure further funds for the club from the older generation.

2. Chairman's report

AM informed everyone that the club had progressed internally and in the eye of the Arthurian League. He thanked the committee members for their help throughout the year to ensure the club runs smoothly. Special mention went to Jeremy, Nick Ev and especially to Kels for organising a magnificent dinner. To Leesy for organising the hugely successful tour to Puerto Banus and to Matt for his work on the website.

The urgent need for new players was discussed. There are too many 30 plus players currently being relied on each week. He stressed it was everyone's responsibility to help to encourage new players into the club. In five years time we will be a one side club if things do not improve.

Secondly the importance of paying subs, match fees, fines and dinner monies on time. 95% of the club pay on time but we can not afford to carry the non payers.

3. Hon. Secretary's report

PH confirmed that the 1's had been entered into the Arthur Dunn, London Old Boys, and AFA senior cup a well as the pre season 6 a side tournament at Old Finchleians. The 2's were entered into the Junior League Cup, London Old Boys and AFA cups.
4. Hon Treasurer's report

RG produced club accounts showing that the club has made a profit of £400 this year but outstanding debtors amounted to £600. With big outgoings in October for Cobham and Battersea he requested that the outstanding Debts be collected by latest 30 September and the new subscriptions arrive ASAP.

JT agreed to write to the outstanding debtors and should these monies not be received by the next committee meeting then the committee will decide what action will be taken.

5. Training

A general discussion took place about what everyone wanted on a Wednesday night. Warm up and then football was agreed with the captains to organise additional training on a Monday night or pre training two bridges run.
