Minutes accepted as true record.
	4. Treasurers report:

Fernhill agreed to pay for 1, but have not paid for it
Fernhill have not agreed not to pay for 2 more games cancelled late or on the day.

Thu 20 Jun 2019	League	Fernhill School	v	EASAMS				Cancelled by Fernhill	

Mon 24 Jun 2019	Cup	Fernhill School	v	Nokia Old Boys				Cancelled by fernhill on day	

Mon 1 Jul 2019	Cup	Fernhill School	v	Nokia Old Boys				Cancelled by Fernhill on day	

Fernhill owe the league £147.51 

The league has made this up from the sponsorship money and from the existing float.
The AM attendees agreed to:
 -  Use any new sponsorship to re-build up float instead of knocking money of each team’s bill
-	Not to punish Fernhill and to encourage them to play next season
-	To try and recoup Fernhill’s extra costs through a few extra on their bills over the next few seasons

Going forward: If game is cancelled then both teams should agree on who is at fault.
Cancelling a game because the team is not strong enough is not a reason to cancel a game, the game should still be played.

Rob Bingham brought in the accounts and they were accepted by the AGM.

Started last season with £153.94 and now have £8.10 in the bank.

	5. Teams for the 2020 Season

The following teams were confirmed for the 2020 season:

AGM agreed to play league games at frimley lodge instead of watchetts.

C&C pros
-	Better pitch if grass used (but not apparently)
-	Changing rooms
-	Artificial pitch
-	Score board
-	Can play earlier and later in season.
-	Needs payment on night? No but £60 now
-	Artificial pitch can be used when damp

Cup games artificial on c&c subject to cost

League at watchetts to get vat back
Book at Frimley lodge for league games
Any league dead rubbers up to teams

League 6 teams play each other once
Cup 4 teams play each other once and then a final.

It was agreed that we would like to include a few more teams if possible.
It was agreed that all current teams will follow up with prospective entrants, and that we would extend the deadline for entry until 31st March 2018.

Entries must be received by the league Chairman by that date.

	6. Cup Format and Rules: same as last year see below
No changes.
Keep bonus super over in cup.

	7. League Format Changes

These will stay the same as last year.

We will play a points system for the League.

Win: 10pts

Tie: 5pts each

Lose: 0pts

Batting Bonus Points Bowling Bonus Points

50 runs = 1 pt 2 wickets = 1pt

75 runs = 2 pts 4 wickets = 2pt

100 runs = 3 pts 6 wickets = 3pt

125 runs = 4 pts 8 wickets = 4pt

150 runs = 5 pts 10 or all wickets = 5pt

Wickets in hand bonus points (if batting second and winning)

2 wickets in hand = 1pt

4 wickets in hand = 2pts

6 wickets in hand = 3pts

8 wickets in hand = 4pts

10 or all wickets in hand = 5pts

However, a maximum of 5 points can be awarded for batting/wickets in hand combined. This means a maximum of 10 bonus points are available for both teams each game regardless of batting first or second.

Maximum points available to winning side = 20 pts.

Maximum points available to losing side = 10 pts.

A forfeit gives the winning side 20pts and the losing side 0 pts.

NB When you have won you cannot continue batting to earn more points.

8. Other Changes for both formats as applicable

a) Wides: To captains and umpires please consider if a ball is playable when calling a wide.

b) Neutral umpires will be used in the cup final again, eg non playing captains, to be agreed upon by both finalist's captains or if there is a problem the league chairman

c) Home games can be played at another venue ONLY if both captains agree

d) Bouncers deliberately bowled over the shoulder will be called no ball. Both captains should be informed. Next deliberate over the shoulder ball by that bowler will be called no ball, and the bowler is prevented from bowling for the rest of the innings.

Rain affected Fixtures
Delayed start or rain affected games can have reduced overs rules if agreed by both captains.
For abandoned games the council do not usually charge, so can be re-arranged for free within 4 weeks.
Both captains should agree to abandon game, but for slippery conditions one captain can abandon a game for health and safety reasons. We had a breakage one year.
Captains can offer to field first if looks like the pitch is drying…

If a rearranged game cannot be played due to bad weather or team withdrawal then the winning team will receive the highest winning points scored from any other team in the league at the end of the season, or if nobody else has beaten them then the full points available.  

Please remember the spirit of the league is to play as many games as possible in a friendly manner.
Any conflicts will resolved by an EGM.

Duckworth lewis was mentioned as a way to calculate a revised score. 
This seems a bit arbitrary maybe the captains can discuss a revised target if not the match will be abandoned. Multiple interruptions may be beyond our wit, but a revised target after a certain amount of overs maybe doable. I will create an agreed score target on the web site.

New rule: Maximum points earned by a team that wins by walkover will not be more than the most points any other team has scored against that team in the season in the league.

ie In the event of a team being unable to complete a fixture this will result in the other team being awarded the Maximum number of points that have been scored against that team in the season. 

	9. Fixtures:

Fixture list will be compiled in April when we have confirmed team numbers. The fixture list will be published in April. The first game was agreed to be played when the council confirm pitch readiness.

First game for friendlies etc Monday 6th May 2019.

First Cup game will be on Monday 6th May 2019.

NB Last possible game: Thursday 22nd August 2019 (before Bank Holiday).
19th July 2017 was last year’s Fernhill break up day so expect this to be similar this year

Does not apply: Home and away in league for 4 or less teams.
If we get another team or teams they just play once in league.
Round robin in cup.

	10. Team Contacts for 2020:
This is maintained by Adam Foster, new contacts or changes should be forwarded to him.
Some contacts are available here: http://camberleycricket.com/cc.nsf/contacts

	11. AOB:

Corona Virus, book games if possible and then review at closer date.

Cup final – neutral umpires will be from 3rd and 4th teams for the final
All teams should nominate umpire for final (in advance).

2019 prompt payment would be appreciated
Fernhill owe Adam Foster for balls still ! 6x £9.99 = £59.95

Rained off games a draw
Cup and League rule changes approved:
If you cannot raise team and both captains agree the game can be postponed once with 14 days.
If no agreement the team that cannot raise a team forfeits.
The team that cannot make it forfeits.

Rain affected need to be rearranged with 4 weeks or result is a draw 5pts each no bonuses.
Ravi the ringer can play in 2019 but this will be reviewed next year. 
PS No pros or semi pros unless both captains agree!

Preseason 4x half teams match.
Net sessions for clubs can be published on Main site to help publicise and pay for nets.
Easams nets may be open to all again, a fee may be levied

Adam Foster to stay as Chairman and Fixture Secretary. 
Rob Bingham is still Treasurer.

Pink (not white) high visibility balls can be used. Mutual agreed decision preferred. Home team captain has final decision and must inform away captain before the toss. 

Fernhill: Minimum of 8 players needed per team to play. Please lend fielders!
If team cannot get 8 players within 48hrs then ultimately the opposing captain can claim a forefeit and losing team has to pay for the pitch, but we’d prefer you to reschedule and split the costs. 

If it is a cup match and there is an odd player, then they only get 1 over to bat not 1.5 overs. They will face all 8 balls.

Super over in the cup: Double runs, double extras, -6 for a wicket but batsman HAVE to swap ends. Captain calls when super over is before first ball bowled in an over, and bowler can be changed after it is called. Each team must do a Super Over. The odd player batting by himself cannot use the Super Over. 

Crown and Cushion matches give an advantage for batting so decided not to use this pitch for league matches.

Easams want…?
EDS want….?
