The Minutes of the last meeting were agreed to be a correct interpretation of events.

3. Matters Arising

SB would raise the matter of number of overs played in U-10 a to U12 games at next HCB meeting.

SB circulated a proposed method of appointing umpires to Hunts Senior, U19 and Development games. As everyone seemed happy with it he said he would propose it to the HCCC.

4. Correspondence

SB was trying to sort out the primary ACO affiliation of members.

5. Secretary’s Report

1. SB summarised the proceedings at the ACO Regional gathering at the Oval.

6. Treasurer’s Report

1. £705.50 in bank, £11 cash in hand, but cheques for £10 each to DU and Martyn Dobbs would leave £685.50

7. Appointment Managers Report

JW listed six different people who were appointing, including two who would remain nameless, but were designated as the worst offenders. He also criticised the HCB organisation, and was standing down as of that time. His last task would be to notify Cyril Jones of Kimbolton expenses.

IB proposed thanks to JW for his hard work, echoed by all.

AP suggested that SB sends a copy of proposal to HACO?

8. ECBACO

Disquiet was expressed about the fact that HCBACO haven’t had an open meeting yet. The Hunts group couldn’t be expected to make any decisions. Sorry, the Hunts group couldn’t be expected to make any decisions until they knew what the HCBACO proposed.

By the next meeting we had to have formulated what we wanted to do as Hunts ACUS.

9. AOB

None

The Meeting at approximately 20:50, next meeting 13/10/08 at 7.30pm.
