Montpelier Office, 3408 Edinburgh Tower, Central

Present: Ian Harling, Brad Tarr, Kim Leung, Kay Beadman, Jonno Seifman & Ian Beck

Membership Fees & Match Fees
A decision was made to re-increase the Men’s match fee to HK$150. This is due to increased costs in catering and net sessions which were not known until after the AGM. Clarification was required regarding new LCC player’s shirt. Only new players receive the shirts, current members use the shirts they were given the previous season.

Clothing and Equipment
Most of the kit on order had arrived and looks great. There is a delay on the rest of it but understand it should arrive soon. A new order of shirts is being looked into.

Club Organisation
There were very few ECMs but the Club seems to be running well. There is also good communication within the EC and when there is a problem, it has been solved quickly.

Net Practice
Pakistan Assoc. Club nets are being used and facilities are good but expensive. The IRC is to be considered but until this has been done, the nets for the Men remain on Monday and Tuesday for the Women.

Tour Organisation
In future, any tours organised must include at least two members of the ECM in all correspondence to help make a decision if a tour should go ahead or be cancelled. Deposits must be given and may be non-refundable. In general, the ECM will help in tours once an entry fee is paid.

There was disappointment of the team that went on a recent tour which had poor representation of the Club’s actual members and was costing the Club money and we wish to avoid this situation in future.

Future Tours
LCC will look at travelling to cricket matches outside of HK again this coming season. Suggested tours were Bangkok or Chiang Mai for 11-a-side matches involving a Men’s team and a Women’s team on the same weekend, as well as the usual suspects of the Chiang Mai 6s and Phuket 6s.

Social Events
Looking forward to getting the social events happening and good things are expected from our social committee of Bethan, Kylie & Toby.

AOB
Any correspondence on behalf of Lamma CC must be approved by the ECM. This includes any complaints, sponsorship agreements, ordering equipment, catering, etc.

Jonno wanted to order a pizza but it was too late.

There were no further points raised and the meeting drew to a close at 8pm
