The cost has increased from £30 to £40 per session but the fee per person will probably remain at £3 per session.

Outdoor nets will remain on Tuesdays, start date and times to be agreed later.

Bar rota:

Due to lack of control last year, we will be operating a strict policy for who can be behind the bar. If anyone would like to help, please let me know.

Fixtures:

First match is Sunday 15 April at Chipps. League starts 28 April v Southwick 1 away and Serendip 2 at home.

Match fees:

To try to encourage better participation in friendly matches, the match fees will be reduced to £6 for adults and £3 for concessions (colts; unemployed; students). League games remain at £8/£4/£3.

Annual subscriptions:

Remain at £25 per person and are due by 1 April. I will be chasing players at nets, indoor cricket etc. Please don't pay late.

Accounts:

If any member not present at the AGM would like a copy, please let me know and I will e-mail them to you.

Colts:

Help is needed on coaching nights and at games. Let me know if you can help out and I will let Jane have your details. We also need more qualified coaches and the club will pay for the course as long as you commit to helping with the colts. It will help improve and understand your own game, so it is worth doing.

Colin, please accept my apologies for not attending the AGM on Wednesday evening, I am working in the US and won't be able to get there. I have cleaned all of the trophies that I was fortunate to have won, and Matt will be bringing them to the meeting; thanks Matt. Matt also knows which posts I am willing to stand for! Hope you have a good and successful meeting

Oh, and by the way, don't you mean 'trophies you won last year'!!!

The post below should say Trophy Winners - can't believe Andy hadn't spotted my mistake.

To last year's trophy the trophy you won last year to the AGM or if you cannot attend, please contact me to arrange collection.
Oh - and bythe way the trophy had better be clean!!

The EPCC AGM will be in the pavilion at 8pm on Wednesday 18 January. Please try to attend as we will be voting on officers for the 2012 season.

The bar is fully stocked!

Andy - we will be joined by a councillor and there is a vacancy for another if you fancy it!

Andy - I can make myself available for Sunday 11th anytime after 6pm if you require a player for the indoor game!

If there are other people who want to play then please pick them over me, but give me a bell if you need me.

Would have joined you all for a beer - It would have been good to catch up with everyone. But unfortunately I am driving to Newcastle for Christmas!! Have a good night

What Billy? The Parish Council (EPPC???) are having a club night??? Hopefully you meant EPCC!!!
