Committee Meeting Summary

The Committee have discussed the issue of the 5th team kit that has not been returned by last year's skipper Andy Richardson.  A number of solutions were discussed and it was decided that pursuing the matter any further with Mr Richardson was a fruitless exercise.  However we will write to the AFA and SAL warning them of Mr Richardson's conduct.

The code of conduct presented to the AFA and SAL and agreed at the AGM was formally endorsed by The Committee.  It will be published on the web site.

3 first aid kits for use on pitch sides are to be purchased by Adrian Turner at the cost of £40 each.  They are to be used by the home skippers on the 1st team pitch, 2nd team pitch and one in the park.

Old Meadonians 6th XI failed to show for their AFA Intermediate Novets Cup tie on 5th October.  We will write to them with the bill for their failure to show - teas, referee's fee and pitch hire

The issue of players not turning up for games was raised.  The Committee takes a VERY dim view of this behaviour.  Members are responsible for their punctuality and they let down themselves, their team mates and the Club by a non appearance.  This will result in a 1 week suspension if the Team Secretary (Trevor Boughton) does not receive an acceptable excuse - note that sleeping in and being drunk are not acceptable.  The Team Secretary's decision is final on these matters.

It has come to the attention of The Committee that lower sides have been using substitutes.  In particular the 4s brought a sub to Norsemen.  The skipper will be reminded of the policy on substitutes that was agreed at the AGM - 1s are permitted to select 2 subs, the 2s are permitted to select 1 sub.  No other sides may select substitutes.  This policy will be reviewed at the next Committee meeting when the playing strength of the Club can be better assessed.

It is encouraging to see a number of last season's successful 6th team rising through the sides.  All skippers are to be reminded that the Carshalton kit comprises black shorts and socks.  Any other colour is not permitted.

Next meeting 11th November
