Minutes of AGM held at Mortimer Arms Hotel

 

 

22nd November 2005 @ 20.10

 

Distribution:

All Team Captains: To be shown to all bowlers in team.

Meeting opened at 20:10.

 

Last years minutes were proposed by Peter Bamforth and seconded by Chris Hodgson to be accepted.

 

1/.     Secretaries report:

The secretary welcomed all bowlers who had attended. Secretary said that this year was successful but some teams did struggle to field three players each week.

The secretary reported that he had been approached by a representative of a League currently running at Bitterne, with a view to join us for the new season. If they do decide to join it will mean we would possibly increase our numbers to 10 Trio’s teams.

It was also reported that the Lucky Strike pot was very successful for the bowlers and the YBC. It was proposed to continue next season and this was accepted. A Thank you from the YBC was given to all for the £218 raised last season.

 

2/. Treasures report:

The treasurer’s report was distributed to all teams and figures were explained to all. No problems were reported. The balance in the account was £4.75 which was split between Charlotte Longworth and Mark Robins for their effort in replacing pins on the skittles at the end of the evening.

 

3/. Clarification of Rules & set up of league:

No clarification was required and the distributed League rules were adopted.

 

The new league season will start on 10th January 2006 and run until some point in October. A position round will occur after the week after half way and on the last week. Should there be 3 rota’s then a position night will fall directly after each rota. There will be a free week during May to enable the start the first round of the Doubles Knockout as it was done last season. We would then use the weeks in School summer break to complete the competition.

 

4/.   Election of New executive committee:

 

Each of the current member of the Executive committee were asked if they would continue and they all agreed to this.

 

Exectutive Committee for 2006 is below:

 

President :  John Miles

Treasurer : Kevin Taylor

Secretary : Nick Longworth

 

A big thank you to John, Kev and Nick for their efforts this year.

 

 

 

5/. Any other business:

 

The point was raised regarding the weeks we did not bowl due to half terms could be used to have more fun nights. It was agreed to look into this as long as the bowl were not going to raise the cost of bowling on these weeks we would look to run Triplex’s or Coloured pin strikes competitions. It was proposed that the first one would be at the Easter Break, details to follow. We would try to plan these in once we have got the registration forms from the new teams and the secretary had set up the new league. The Secretary would confirm with the bowl the cost to bowl in half terms before setting this up.

 

We ran a Raffle with some prizes donated to us by Kevin Taylor. It was agreed that the money raised would be split two ways. Half to go to YBC, the other half to go to winner of the Killer Skittles.

 

6/. Presentation of Trophies:

 

All trophies were presented.

 

7/.  Food.

 

This was gratefully received and I believe was of high standard. I would propose that we do the same again next year. Your comments welcomed please.

 

8/. Killer Skittles:

 

Nick won the event and has decided to put all £23 of his winnings into the starting pot for the New Year YBC fundraising event.
