Appendices
CKA chairs report on BKA AGM (16th June, 2002, Nottingham University)
There were a number of items which were raised which may be of interest to us in Cambridge.
1. It is important that all clubs and associations have the right amount of referees qualified and registered with the BKA. It looks like fines will be soon issued.
2. It is the centennial year of Korfball next year.
3. All clubs are reminded that they have to have permission from the BKA to play in outside the UK (in most cases this will only be a formality).
4. Debbie Etheridge and Jackie ? from Kent are putting together a teachers pack.
5. Clubs are reminded to update addresses of members regularly and send them to the BKA as this is a requirement under the anti-doping regulations which govern us all.
6. The affiliation fees were set as £120 for club teams and £130 for National League teams.
7. A promotional video is available from the BKA treasurer (Sam ?) which costs 10 euros.
8. Peter Allan asked me whether Cambridge would host the National Youth Day next year. I said we would discuss it this week at our meeting and I would report back to him as soon as possible. Debbie E should be sending me information detailing what we have to do.
9. The cup competition is now open to all clubs, cost £15 per team. The idea is that club teams will play against each other in pools of 3 or 4 teams from varying areas with shorter matches and each pool being a round robin. The winners will go forward to the next round where the top 6 Premier clubs will enter.
