Luci Fabianova (City) Georgia Howitt-Sutton (City) Alf Timney (City) Rosalind Seabright (Vikings) All approves to play in the CKL
Report from Colchester Wildcats, whom the CKA loaned some posts to: ‘We have joined the NKA and are in the NKL this season, starting in div 3 but doing pretty well so hopefully div 2 next year. Other than that Wildcats is going pretty well. We are still a small club of around 15 members and have quite small numbers at training so we are now busy recruiting and also running Sportivate funded sessions in the new year. We got the University of Essex Korfball Club (Essex Blades) up and running about a month ago. It’s already got 31 members so it doing very well. Wildcats finances are pretty tight at the moment. With low training attendances we don’t always cover hall fees and have to find other ways of earning the money. No finance or loaned equipment from the NKA I’m afraid bit it could be a good idea. Nevertheless we are slowly starting to buy our own equipment. We managed to raise the funds to buy a pair of posts we were borrowing from Milton Keynes and some second hand balls from UEA as well as bibs. We still have a pair of posts from the CKA which are currently on use at the Uni whilst they wait for their starter kit to come through.' |

REFEREEING: |
|
|
Nothing to report. (Chair) The EKA policy on U18 referees, from Graham Carter is: ‘The guidance in place is that it is unwise for u16 referees to referee adult korfball, so someone of age 16 (particularly if keen and preferably accompanied by a more experienced referee) should not be prevented’ |

1. CAMBRIDGE CITY ‘20/21ST’ ANNIVERSARY SUMMER TOURNAMENT |

Cambridge City would like to hold a summer tournament to celebrate their 20/21st anniversary. There are no other clubs holding a summer tournament. City will advise the CKA of the date in due course. |

2. UNI’S REFEREEING COMMITMENTS FOR NEXT SEASON |
|
|
(Uni) We are fast realising that after this year, the squad will be all novices, Ollie Bell aside. As a result, we won’t have anyone qualified to ref on our behalf from October onwards. We were hoping to suggest to the CKA, as we will no longer be in a position to offer up refs, that Uni is not assigned reffing for next year. We are aware this means other clubs will have to take on the burden of extra reffing on our behalf, but we haven’t been able to come up with a solution to this that doesn’t involve a lot of hassle for us, and consequently for the people we are assigned to ref for, next season when we are forced to scrabble to find someone to ref on our behalf every time. Committee decision – other CKA clubs to cover Uni’s reffing commitments next season however, Uni are to show that they are avidly trying to get ref’s through their exams, theoretically at least. |

3. EKA DRAFT ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION |
|
|
The
CKA are not opposed in principle to moving to a Company Limited By
Guarantee (CLBG) and can see some advantages. There was some discussion about the high threshold (90% of members) required to call an EGM and it was felt this was probably unachievable in practice. City, Lions, Phoenix
and Uni were represented at the meeting, but unfortunately Tigers
and Vikings were not. The CKA would like all its member clubs to
support its position, so please could Tigers and Vikings indicate
if they agree with the above or not. |

4. ENTRANCE TO LIONS' HALL ON FRIDAY MATCH NIGHTS |
|
|
Due to recent issues with teams entering the hall when Lions are trying to prepare the hall for matches, Lions are now putting a restriction on entry time and this will be 8.15pm for away clubs. |
|
|
NEXT MEETING |
|
|
Lions have asked if there could be a meeting held either in Littleport or Ely. The Chair asked Sara (secretary and Lions chair) to investigate what days were available for all committee members and clubs. Date to be made for end of February/March |

AOB |
