Attendees;

Quite a few.

   5.2 Junior Cricket: Nick Harper

   These had been published on the website and no questions had been raised.

6. Financial Report

    6.1 Financial report

   This had been published on the website and no questions had been raised.

   Rachel explained that we had created cashflow forecasts that indicated we were in a good position and could survive with no cricket income for the next 2 years. However, this was only due to a one-off grant from DBC of £10k and the generosity members who had made donations to the club.

   GVH had suspended their use of the pavilion and therefore their regular payments. This was because their governing body had provided rules that made it impossible to continue with indoor facilities. Matt has been in touch with their Chair and he hoped to come back to Boxmoor when Covid-19 restrictions were lifted.

   Sponsorship, December 19 had not been asked to contribute as their income had been severely impacted by Covid-19. Other sponsors were in the same situation. One of the key tasks for the incoming Committee is to try and fill the many holes left by our ex-sponsors.

   6.2 Approval of Auditor

   The Accounts were approved by Peter Crawshaw FCCA.

7. Election of Officials

   Where nominations were seconded and put forward unopposed, these were accepted. 

   There were 2 candidates for the 2^nd Team Captain and e-mail votes had been made prior to the meeting. The result was that Anum Hamdani was elected to the role.

   Vacant roles will be discussed at the next Committee Meeting. Any members interested in vacant roles to advise the Secretary.

   Vice Presidents, Honorary Vice Presidents and Life Presidents were elected on-bloc.
