Hi all,

I note that no-one's yet posted anything re the committee meeting last night. In short, there are quite a few things coming up that we need everyone's attention and consideration on. Chiefly these are:

1. AGM - Tuesday March 23rd, 8pm at Greenmount
Voting on captains - and vice-captains - to be done on the night, so maximum attendance please!

2. Fundraising
Our fundraising efforts over the past couple of years have been exceptional, but with the new 500 quid per annum rent on the ground coming into effect, we need to keep focusing and also think of any new ways to raise money - without fleecing the same people time and again! Sponsorships, both match and ball, are welcome. if you have contacts, tap them up!

3. Cricket shirts
Big Bird is looking at getting us some TSJ shirts for the coming season. If anyone has any ideas re sponsors then we need them asap please. When we got the caps and tracksuit tops a few years back it was a big step forward and we looked thepart - and it spurred us onto several trophies. Why not complement that with TSJ shirts - and stop Kieran from wearing that Red Lion Skipton shirt ever again!!!

4. Ground work
We'll be posting a proper article about pre-season ground work in the next newsletter, which is imminent. We will post dates on here too.

Basically there's loads to do and the more people that can help, the better. Don't just leave it to the usual same few! There's painting, cleaning and tidying to be done in the pavilion, the garage roof needs to be replaced, and plenty of other stuff. Cliff's your man for that side of things, and I'm sure the CDO will be happy to point people in the direction of a paintbrush!

5. Cyril is not well and has been in hospital. Please include him in your thoughts.
