Minutes of AGM held at Morimer Arms Hotel

 

 

14th December 2004 @ 19.40

 

Distribution:

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

Meeting opened at 19:40.

 

Last years minutes were proposed by Peter Bamforth and seconded by Mark Moody to be accepted.

 

1/.     Secretaries report:

The secretary welcomed all bowlers who had attended. Secretary said that the second season for the league had gone well. Secretary reported that he would be seeking a meeting with senior management at Megabowl to discuss future plans for the centre. A number of issues had been raised during the season and need to be clarified.

 

2/. Treasures report:

The treasurer’s report was distributed to all teams and figures were explained to all. No problems were reported. However when the secretary came to pay the balance for the function at Mortimers there were two anomalies.

i)                    We paid for 37 people although of the 37 people who said they were coming only 30 came and 33 paid. This left a shortfall of £47.

I personally paid for the above and will remove from next seasons funds when available a total of £47.00. It will be added to the Treasures report for the end of next season.

 

With the above in mind next year we will be expecting money two weeks prior to the event.

 

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

i)     Scratch League had returned this season. Trophies given to top three players. This will be one scratch league comprising of male and female bowlers.

ii)    Most Improved Male and Female trophies were added and presented in this season’s list.

 

It was decided due to a number of factors that the league would reform in 2005 as a Trio’s league. New Registration forms were given out and returned to the secretary. New rules will accompany this letter.

 

New league will start on 11th January 2005 and run for 42 weeks. A position round will occur after week 20 and week 40. There will be a free week after week 21 to start the first round of the Doubles Knockout as it was done last season. It was agreed to carry on this Tournament. This will take us to the first week of November 2004 to complete.

 

4/.   Election of New executive committee:

 

As the current Treasurer (Mark Moody) would not be continuing to bowl this position was up for re election. The President and Secretary were happy to continue their roles.

 

Kevin Taylor was proposed and accepted the position of Treasurer. Thanks Kevin.

 

President :  John Miles

Treasurer : Kevin Taylor

Secretary : Nick Longworth

 

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

 

5/. Any other business:

There were no any other business items raised by bowlers. However the Secretary placed his YBC fundraising hat on to propose a way of raising much needed funds for Youth Bowling. A proposal document was given to all bowlers to look at before the meeting. It was agreed to try it out in the New Year and see how successful it was and decide whether to continue.

 

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. A thank you letter has been sent to Mortimer Arms Hotel.

 

8/. Killer Skittles:

 

We had two rounds of Killer skittles with Kelvin winning round one and Nick winning round two. Nick has decided to put £10 of his winnings into the starting pot for the New Year YBC fundraising event.
