RESULTS:

Scorecards have been handed out to Vikings (to Lee at first match of season
TIG1vTIG2) and to City & Phoenix (to Andy who reffed the PHO1vPHO2 game).
Have had no contact from or with Uni or Lions so assuming they have some
stock from last year???
Will send along more scorecards to the meeting.
One missed reffing commitment already - Uni no show for City 3 v Tigers 4
match last Sunday.

Fixtures, results, league tables, stats are all up and running on the
website.
No signs so far of the postal strike causing any problems (phew, that was
good timing).

Invoice sent to Corinne for scorecards up to Xmas - hoping cheque will be
there at meeting to pick up – given at meeting, see treasurer's report above.


JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT:

I have bought 13 size 3 balls and am in the process of buying 8 size 4 balls
to help bolster the numbers. There seems to be just enough equipment to
scrape by on as things stand until we get money from a lottery grant.

The equipment has been re-inventoried and I now have a clear list of what is
where and how much of what we have is still around. We have lost a few balls
but other equipment is all present and correct give or take a couple of
casualties. Those people borrowing balls will be advised not to take them to
tournaments - or at least to take the bare minimum to tournaments and take
extra special care to monitor their whereabouts. It is  at tournaments that
balls go astray, sadly.

I have had a poor response to emails to everyone asking for equipment on
their wish list (for the grant application)  - I think they just need a
nudge.

Appointing Managers and Coaches to the inter area teams has been quite
successful. I am still needing a couple more volunteers though for the U11
section.

I will try to set up a league of some description this season. But based on
the fact that the schools league ended up being run on a Saturday and that
Mayfield school may not be continuing with korfball (it's a bit up in the
air) I think it will be an amalgamation of schools and clubs. In which case
it will be run over a succession of weekends over the season in the form of
mini tournaments at different locations.


REFEREEING:

Nothing to report.


COACHING:
