Notes from the November 2010 Committee meeting
Lady Captain Rosie introduced everybody & confirmed the new Committee roles that she had discussed with individuals over the last few weeks.
Rosie explained that she wanted to set up 3 Sub-Committees (CONGU, H&S/Risk Assessment & Equality-Constitution) to investigate issues & do ground work outside main committee meetings by phone/e-mail etc but provide updates on progress, raise issues & bring back recommendations to the main Committee for it to discuss & vote upon.
Helen Duckett, our new treasurer circulated 3 papers; a new analysis of annual ‘standard costs’ (expenditure) & income along with the 2011 draft budget.
Helen explained that extra funding may be needed for the 2013 Championship unless sponsorship was available. Please note we would welcome any suggestions for a sponsor.
Christine Greenhalgh, our new competition secretary confirmed that the next mail-out to Club Representatives including competition posters, the 2011 calendar, a letter from the Captain requesting information on low-handicappers for the teams & a note on CONGU inviting further comments would be sent first week in December.
General discussion for & against joining CONGU raised the following issues - summarised;
- Membership vote, or consult the Members or Committee decision as allowed by the Constitution (article 13)?
- Championship should be qualifying but other Competitions need not be – formats changed to avoid qualifying.
- Comp Sec confirmed she would need to send qualifying Comp results to Clubs but it would be down to Clubs to amend/revise player handicaps – would increase her job (responsibility & time).
- CONGU might only affect a few Competitions(1-3 max) so unlikely to affect entries drastically (hadn’t affected the Sheffield League).
- CONGU still not liked by many but it had been around for 8 years & needed to be considered objectively. YLCGA had accepted it & Northern Counties were considering moving forward.
Lady Captain suggested the following way forward which was agreed by the Committee;
- The CONGU sub- committee to review all comments, correspondence & investigate issues outstanding from todays meeting & report back.
- The CONGU sub-committee to look at CONGU application form & evaluate all implications & report back
