Meeting with the Clubs
Prior to this meeting, the usual pre – season meeting had been held with the Clubs. Unfortunately, the handbooks were not yet available for reasons beyond our control. It was hoped that the hand books would be available for the Umpires and Captains Meeting on 5th April. Clubs were reminded to study the various rule changes and the requirements regarding overseas players. Clubs were also updated on the progress on the merger with the LWRCL and the new website.

Disciplinary Review
The Chairman reported that the review of our disciplinary procedures had been completed. Disciplinary offences would be reported by the umpires as per the present system with the addition that a note would be added to the CYCL Umpires Ground Report Card when an incident took place. A list of penalties which could be imposed has been included in the handbook. Once again we were dependant on the Umpires to report all cases and use their powers to award penalty runs.
Treasurers Report
Paul McFarlane gave a report. He reported that the Clubs had now paid their subscriptions for 2008.
Outside Agencies
The next YCB Meeting would be held at Headingley on 14th April 2008.
Any Other Business
The Chairman confirmed that he had received assurances that improvements had been carried out at Woodkirk and Scholes in respect of the sightscreens and umpires changing facilities respectively. An inspection of the changing rooms at Wakefield Thornes had been carried out. In view of the planned construction of a new clubhouse the present changing rooms would be accepted as adequate with the provision that they are kept in a clean and tidy condition. The meeting discussed the replacement of the Association of Cricket Umpires & Scorers by the English Cricket Board Officials Association ( ECB OA ). It was agreed that the League would support the ECB OA and encourage umpires officiating in league games to join the ECB OA. The CYCL did not provide insurance for umpires and while Clubs own insurance provided cover for umpires, this may not cover all eventualities, The ECB OA did provide bespoke cover for umpires on a “door to door” basis. It was agreed the Chairman would write to the CYCL Umpires Association on this subject.
