Minutes were approved as being a true and accurate account of the previous Management Meeting. Matters Arising
The President replied that there had been some problems in circulating the October minutes. It was agreed that as from 2007, all Management Committee Members will be allowed to vote on rule change proposals. A voting paper will be sent to each individual. All Cup dates in 2007 will be slightly different to this year’s. Clubs will be advised when the fixtures are finalised.
Correspondence
Various correspondences from the YCA. The main point is that affiliation fees to the YCA in 2007 will be the same as 2006. The AGM of the Yorkshire Cricket Council is on November 21st at the Masonic Hall in Pontefract, followed by their Presentation Night. If anyone is interested in attending, please contact Mr J Tomlinson. Letter from CYCL Umpires Association, asking the Management Committee to reconsider not increasing Umpires Fees. The Meeting agreed that as a full discussion and vote took place at the October Meeting the issue will not be reconsidered. The President wrote to the South Yorkshire League to inform them that the CYCL / SYL challenge matches would no longer take place. SYL accepted the decision. The President wrote to Mr Peter Arundel to thank him for his offer of his services to the League. The Management Committee took the action to look into ways in which Mr Arundel’s services can be used. Various emails from organisations asking to use the League website for advertising etc. The League does not enter into this sort of correspondence. The situation with Scholes CC, in regard to the Wheatley Cup Final, is now resolved. All parties now happy. Email from Pudsey St. Lawrence, asking about entering an under 15’s team in the League. The President stated that they wish to enter into a Junior League, so he gave them the contact details for the Heavy Woollen Junior League. Email regarding Heavy Woollen Cup Committee using CYCL website. It was agreed that as not all Clubs have access to the website, the CYCL would not be able to help. BT Call from Mirfield PC, asking that Ashley Mackereth be considered for Division 2 Junior batting award. They had not indicated on the averages, sent to the Secretary, his age as requested by the rule. It was agreed that he should win the award as he has achieved a far greater average. The President informed Buttershaw St. Paul’s that James Crossland has no longer won the award. Buttershaw accepted the explanation. This was not the Leagues fault and in future the League may not take action where the Clubs are clearly at fault, as in this particular case. The Secretary suggested that the whole idea of the Junior averages be looked at as some of the winners have not got very good figures. Action taken to review this issue at a later date.
