Nothing to report. See below for EA Cup.

 

 

JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT (Vacant):

 

 

 

 

REFEREEING:

 

Uni have had 3 players pass their theory exam at the back end of last academic year, none had time to undergo practical assessment at that time.
On their return my priority will be to get at least one of these practically assessed. Currently Uni have George Marshall qualified to ref though I'm not sure how willing. Adam is aware

Whilst I was on holiday Lions have contacted Graham Crafter re a reffing course, he has given them 21 sept and 11th Oct as provisional dates, I would hope there would be space for other clubs to piggy-back onto this.

 

 

COACHING:

 

Nothing to report.

 

 

PUBLICITY:

 

 

 

 

CPO:

 

I have now audited Tigers, City and Vikings, just Lions left to do. The BKA has been de-registered for doing CRB checks due to not processing enough (100) applications in year. In the interim, have a number of forms I can distribute until the re-registration is sorted out.

21 people attended the Safeguarding and Protecting Children Workshop.

Thanks to Janine for organising this.

 

 

1. TROPHIES

The CKA will buy 3 16” shields, one for each Division, with small shield plates and simple engraving e.g. 'CKL Division 1 Champions'. The cost is about £70 per shield, total about £210. Small shield plates will be engraved with a summary of previous winners e.g. 'Tigers 2001-2007' and 2008/9 winners and presented at the end of the 2008/9 season.

 

2. EA SHIELD (A.K.A CUP)

No Norwich teams could make the Sunday 28th September date.

Only Cambridge City and Dragons can make the Saturday 8th October date. Lions, Vikings, Knights and Ice couldn't make this date.

It was decidec that a date for the EA Shield couldn't be found this season. A date of Saturday 19th September was set for next season. Sara to email the NKA.

3. DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROGRESS

Open senior development committee initial meeting still to be set up.

4. REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE WITH EQUIPMENT FOR SCHOOL IN BURY.

It was suggested that perhaps Phil Buttinger or the NKA may be able to help. Lee to contact Phil. Howard to ask if teacher if she has approached the NKA for help.

City may have some old posts available, but these may already be promised to City members. Tracey, who knows the details, is away on holiday. City/Tracey to let CKA know if any posts are available.

Concern was raised that if we purchase equipment and loan it to the school that it may not get it back, particularly with balls, there may be wear and tear, or the teacher may move on to another school. Howard to find out the head of department contact from the teacher and outline the terms of any equipment loan.

It was agreed to purchase 2 posts and 4 balls at a cost of abut £600, if no other equipment is available.
