A watershed AGM on January 31
The Annual General Meeting of the OCCC will be held at 7.30pm on Thursday, January 31, 2008 at the Old Cranleighan Sports Club, Thames Ditton.
Most years we have four men and a Mac attending, but this time we hope as many of you as possible will turn up as this is a very important time for the OCCC and it is vital that as many OCCC members as possible approve the changes being made. We are proposing levying a small annual subscription to help us underpin cricketing activities, ensuring we can afford appointed umpires for all matches for example. We are also introducing a new role, that of chairman to alleviate some of the burden on the captain, as well as an Executive Committee. All these need to be discussed and approved by as many people as possible.
The main thing on the agenda is a redrafting of the OCCC rules. As some of you will know, Rick Johnson spent time drafting a club constitution which has been incorporated into the revised rules. I am attaching a copy of the proposed revision which will be put to the meeting for discussion and final approval.
The rules require that all nominations for OCCC Officers be lodged in writing with the honorary secretary no less than seven days before the AGM (ie by January 24). I am attaching after the rules those nominations received so far for your consideration.
All notices, apologies for absence and communication to me please by clicking here.
