1.
The Chairman opened the meeting at 7.30pm after
pre-meeting business had been concluded.
Attendances were taken.
2.
The minutes of the previous meeting of 24th
February 2011 were read and approved.
3.
The holding of the AGM on 20th
February 2012 (6 days later than the date specified in Rule 3 of 14th
February) was approved.
4.
In relation to matters arising from the last AGM
minutes, the League Secretary reported that, despite the best efforts of
himself and Jo Pinkney (Nailsea) it had not been possible to get cap badges
designed. After discussion, it was
determined that (provided that NSYCL cap badges could be sourced) for the 2012
season every player who represented the NSYCL at any age level (if he only
played one game) would be eligible for a League Cap and that (as per the
decision minuted at the previous AGM) the League would supply funding towards
the cost of caps purchased.
5.
Jo Pinkney accepted office as Representation
Teams Officer, for which she was thanked by the Chairman.
6.
The League Secretary/Treasurer delivered a
report (copy attached).
7.
The U13/U11 Secretary (for trophies, cup finals
and some representative games) delivered a report (copy attached).
8.
The Treasurer delivered an income and
expenditure statement as at 20th February 2012 (copy attached) which was explained,
discussed and approved. The recommendation of the Treasurer that subscription
and fine levels be unchanged for the 2012 season was discussed and accepted.
9.
The Results Officer delivered a report (copy attached). He reminded members that it was their
responsibility under Rule 12 to report their results and input details into the
results website, not for him to have to chase for missing results.
10.
John Waters delivered a report in relation to
representative matches (copy attached). John Hance (Cleeve) delivered a report (copy attached) in relation to U15 representative games and Tony George
(Blagdon) gave a report in relation to U11 representative games.
11.
It was resolved (11 for and 4 against) that Rule
3 (date of the AGM) be amended to provide for the calling of the AGM to be by
30th November (instead of by 14th February).
12.
WSM’s proposal for batsman at U13 and U15 ages
to be compulsorily retired at 50 runs was not carried (for 2, many
against).
13.
A proposal by WSM that the provision for determination
of qualification places in the geographical sections at U13 and U15 levels
(i.e. where clubs were tied on points) be changed from the existing (decided on
aggregate runs scored in section games) to decided on net run rate as displayed
on and generated by the Play-Cricket Website was carried (for 17, few against),
the Results Officer having explained that in his experience the “net run rate”
statistics generated by the Play-Cricket Website would produce in some cases
surprising and abnormal-looking results.
14.
It was determined that the U13s and U15s
divisions continue to be divided each into 2 x sections, broadly constituted
geographically, with a play-off final stage so as to add fixtures to an
otherwise short season, as in previous years.
15.
It was determined that the fixtures for U11s
should continue to be 12 straight games irrespective of the number of entrants
in that division.
16.
It was confirmed that at AGMs “any other
business” discussed be limited to only any such other business as shall have
been pre-notified in writing to the League Secretary.
