Boston Hockey Club
Minutes of the Committee
Meeting held Tuesday 4th September 2006
- Members Present: Lisa Ceaser
(Chair), Ian Ceaser, Andy Barlow, Paul Wood, Ian
Sanderson, Tim Humphrey, Stephen Herron.
- Apologies: None received.
- Matters Arising: Club Day: The
make up of the day would be organised on an ad hoc basis.
It was estimated that around thirty club members would
attend. New Kit: This had now been ordered with
the vast majority of club members informing their
respective captains their shirt sizes. There would be
spares ordered for new club members that may join. To
ensure that everyone paid, shirts would not be issued to
club members until they had been paid for.
- Treasurer’s report: The
England Hockey Affiliation fees had been paid and the
balance was presented to the committee. It was clear that
with other bills still to be paid, subscriptions needed
to be paid in asap to ensure positive cash flow.
- Secretary’s report: Fixture
Card: A prototype card had been produced. There were
some refinements needed but the committee approved this
with the amendments included. New Club Rules: A
code of conduct was discussed in great depth with
everyone agreeing to the final draft. This would be
included in the fixture card mentioned above. This would
apply to all club members regardless of club status.Lottery
Grant: An application would be made to the Awards for
All lottery fund. If this would be successful, the club
could be able to invest in the future and possibly
attract new members. Boston Community ShowCase:
This would be held on Sunday 10th September,
10am to 5pm. Ian Ceaser, Lisa Ceaser, Andy Barlow, Ian
Sanderson and Tim Humphrey all volunteered to staff the
stand. It was proposed that the club would have a walk in
stand with a beat the goalkeeper competition. Ian would
go in goal for the seniors and junior goalkeeper Shane
Railton would be asked to go in goal for the juniors
(Shane agreed to this).
- Any Other Business: Membership
Database: To ensure that BHC would be complying with
their membership of BASA and The Mayflower (Sportsman)
names etc would need to be submitted. It was made clear
that they would only be kept on file and not submitted
for anyone else to use. Changing Rooms: Due to the
recent change in ownership of the Mayflower (now The
Sportsman), the club would need to book the changing
rooms. Andy Barlow would provide a list of games so this
could be actioned. Teas would be booked from the list as
well. CRB Checks & Registration Forms: Stephen
Herron would organise this for club members. Various club
members would be contacted so this could be done. This
was required for the Club First certification. Also Andy
Barlow had produced an updated junior registration form
with one eye on Club First requirements.Level One
Umpires Course: There will one held on 17th
September 2006. Junior Representatives: Again as
part of the ongoing Club First requirements, it was seen
as good practice to have junior representatives. As a
result, various names were banded around (Alan Foster had
been contacted about this) and the unanimous vote was
that Charles Hardy and Shane Railton would be invited to
join the committee.
- Date and Time of next meeting: Monday
3rd October start time 8.30pm after training.
