Hello all,

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR PLAYERS!

One more from me. I've finally typed up the AGM minutes (and corrected them for mistakes).

They are at:
http://oxsoftball.wetpaint.com/page/Meeting+minutes+2006-07

Highlights and news:

Main business:
We have a new executive (see page for details). We:

• Clarified how the executive works
• Got 2 volunteers to liaise better with Rover
• Need co-opted posts (*Mens nationals team organiser, *Womens nationals team organiser, *Open days organiser/promoter, *Cup/tournament day organiser, *End of season celebration organiser). Can you volunteer for any of these?
• Very minor constitutional amendments
• We'd like a 'Hall of Fame'
• Umpiring courses for start of next season
• Mens team for nationals
• And much more - have a look at the wiki!
  

Main objectives for the exec. members:

Treasurer and Executive Officers – to become signatories to the OSA account as soon as possible.
Chair – clarify what has been done regarding the ‘development grant’ and compensation for lack of payment by the Croughton team in 2004.
All at next AGM/EGM – formally adopt the changes to the constitution.
Exec. officers – to investigate the ‘Hall of Fame’ idea.
Exec. officers – to look into options for hosting an umpiring course (roll our own or buy in BSUK?).
Exec. officers – Change all branding to “Oxford Softball” as per last year’s agreement.
Exec. officers – Need a recruitment plan, and advertising for next year (and try to co-opt someone to do this).
Exec. officers – Need to prioritise a Mens team for the nationals next year
Secretary – look into the use of ‘announce’ email lists to send out news.
Exec. officers – To look into a Level 2 coaching course from BSUK at Oxford.

Final announcement:

Indoor softball begins on Tuesday 12th September - more details to be announced, but it will take place in the Oxford Community School (top of Glanville Road) gym.
