The minutes of the meeting from 2017 were accepted as being a true and accurate record and were signed off as such; there were no matters arising

 

• Opening Remarks

Mark Salter noted that over sixty young players had attended the opening Youth Section Winter Training Session for 2018 and that showed a vibrancy for a New Year

There was much to do though in 2018; the previous year had seen much capital expenditure take place for good reason, but it meant that the Club’s finances had been well used and these needed to be replenished – supporting social events better and making more effective use of the bar facility after matches was crucial in 2018 as was ensuring that all membership fees are paid on time and in full and same for match fees – every pound matters; to facilitate matters installing a PED for card transactions was under serious consideration

 

• Administrator’s Report

David Derrick’s report had been released prior to the meeting; his operational focus had been on 2017’s season for the 1^st XI being deemed that it would be a testing one before a ball was bowled and that was how it had turned out… It would compete in the Premier Division of the Somerset League for the first time since 2012 in the season ahead

• AOB

Club will contest the swap of days for play ref TDYCL in due course

Security issues with TDBC were cited and needs a pooled effort to raise awareness and effort expended to sort alarm issues once and for all

Attending to after match duties and after match hospitality are high priority for all this coming season; do not wish to get tagged as being unsocial as a Club

Plans for Cricket for Females are a ‘Work in Progress’, but one that is very much at the forefront of the Club’s Development Strategy

Club Mark Re-Assessment will take place in 2018; needs ALL to buy in and give of their time and effort if called upon to do so
