Management Committee
The Management Committee's main responsibilities include representing the views of its
members, general club finance, planning the upkeep and maintenance of the club premises
(including its fixtures and fittings), informing relevant individuals and providing
guidance on all club Health & Safety requirements, Child Welfare, Social and Community
links, Insurance, Marketing and Promotion. It accepts reports from each committee.
Cricket Committee
The Cricket Committee is responsible for all playing aspects of the club
(with the exception of youth cricket). They cover matters such as the coaching
arrangements, the agreement and fulfilment of fixtures, the selection policy, player
development, match day preparation arrangements (including teas and bar), ground
maintenance issues and management of the Club's playing facilities and matters such as
club clothing and kit.
Youth Committee
The Youth Committee is responsible for all matters relating to club members
and players that are Under 18 (i.e. both youth and senior matches affecting this age
group). This includes the provision of fixtures, selection policy, agreement to the number
of teams fielded in each age group and will normally be the first place where Child
Welfare matters are raised
Development Committee
The Development Committee exists to protect the long term strength and
stability of the club and to ensure that the strategic direction of the club is correct.
It ensures the ongoing review and updating of the Development Plan. In ensuring the long
term financial stability of the club it looks at the promotion of all fund raising,
securing funding and driving sponsorship activities (except those covered by the social
committee). It ensures the clubs image is sound through promoting the club both in the
press and with new and existing partner organisations and principals. It should also
ensure the active involvement of the club's membership in the running of the club by
encouraging maximum participation through initiatives like the Volunteer Programme.
Finally it will identify the need for the club to progress initiatives like ClubMark and
Focus Club status and in doing so will recommend new policies and guidelines for adoption.
Social Committee
The Social Committee will promote all social activities. They will draw up a
list of events throughout the year and endeavour to maximise attendance at the events. It
is normally expected that events will 'break-even' (unless agreed otherwise beforehand).
However the social committee is about fun, enjoyment and participation and is not in
existence solely to raise funds for the club.
