FIXTURES:

Mark asked that referees be notified when fixtures are cancelled at short notice – use the CKA contact list to contact the chair and refereeing coordinator of the club due to referee until a response is received. When fixtures are changed with more notice it is for the Fixtures Officer to notify the refereeing club.

Action – Tigers still need to provide National League and SERL starting player lists for status to Mark.

SENIOR DEVELOPMENT (vacant):

From Howard: There were just about enough players (4 male, 7 female) to enter a Senior Inter-area team, but a lack of volunteers for the coach/ manager/ captain, shot clock operator and jury member roles meant we didn't enter.

JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT:

Liv is planning hall bookings for 2022-23. She reported a concern that junior numbers are topping out. Liv will need help for Saturday morning tournaments next season.

Action – City, Vikings and Tigers will coordinate separately to arrange more matches / tournaments between them.
