AGM 2020

The meeting should have taken on November 1 but was not possible because of the pandemic.

The Management Committee will be making alternative arrangements in due course.

Meanwhile, see Neil Argyle's email dated November 2 which details outstanding nominations for the club's officers.

Evening Pairs League

Thanks to Jamie Griffin for organising the new evening pairs league. See the above link. Congratulations to Claire Morrison and Keith Hall who were the winners and Callum Cox and Jamie who finished runners up.

Green Closure

The green is now closed for the winter. The rink booking system has been taken down.

Competition Finals

Four games took place on Sunday, September 13, the number of competitions having been reduced in view of the pandemic.

Under blue skies a good number of spectators saw some excellent bowling and tight finishes.

Congratulations to Nesta Friend for winning the Ladies' Singles, Graham Brown Men's Singles, Linda Fruen and Claire Morrison Ladies' Pairs and Alan Prior and Neil Argyle Men's Pairs.

' Fives ' Competition

Jamie Griffin organised a one day event on Sunday, September 20. 

The winning team comprised Jamie, Nesta Friend, Ray Brown, Colin Jennings and Linda Fruen.

An action photo is on the club's Facebook page.

" Let's Roll " Open Day

Well done to Claire Morrison and the recruitment team for organising the Open Day on August Bank Holiday Monday.

Thanks to the members who supported the event, plus coach Jeff Wallace who also donated prizes.

A total of ten people attended, some of ewhom have subsequently signed up for coaching sessions.

Loddon Reach

The Loddon Reach magazine is no longer to be produced. This is very unfortunate as the club has used it to publicise the club and our events.

            

Risk Assessment

Bob Spencer has produced a list of issues which could affect the club and need to be addressed via the Management Committee. This will be available to read in the clubhouse once it opens again.

Please note this was produced prior to the pandemic.

Job Profiles

Neil Argyle has produced a document which provides members with information on the various roles of the club's Officers. Some of this is an update of a similar document produced some years ago by Allen Lock.

This will also be placed in the clubhouse once it re-opens.

Dinner/Dance 2020

This year's dinner/dance has been cancelled owing to pandemic restrictions.

Provision of Food After Friendly Games

The question of what kind of food is to be provided in future seasons was discussed at the AGM.

It was decided that from 2020 a light snack/nibbles instead of a full meal will be provided at home games on a Wednesday evening.  Opposing teams for friendly matches have been informed of the change. The rink fee has been reduced to £3 for both home and away fixtures.

There is no change to arrangements for weekend fixtures.

Club-wide Emails

We have recently experienced some rogue emails purporting to be from members.

In order to mitigate the risk of this happening it has been decided that any multi-address emails will be sent by blind copy. This will result in the full address list not being revealed to the recipient. 

GoRaise 

 

The club is registered with GoRaise for the receipt of income via its on line portal for internet purchases.

 

All members have to do is go online, register with GoRaise and nominate the club as the recipient of any income. You then place your order in the normal way. A small percentage of the sale price is then received by the club.
