confirmed with the Secretary that he was keen to serve another term with Nomads
United in 2007. Mr Lambert
reiterated the success of the 2006 season, and felt sure that this could only be

then Moved:

Fundraising:
Moved:

Clubrooms:
Mrs Kingsland reported on
the success yet again of the clubrooms in the 2006 season, reported that as the
Financial report will show – bookings were slightly down on the previous year
but that this had been due to the new laws covering Licenced Premises, in that
hire to members is basically the only functions which cover all aspects of the
Licence held by the club. Enquiries
had been no less, but the age of those wanting to secure bookings had been
significantly younger and therefore the risk to the licence was not worth the
gain received.
It
was reported that the club had secured a New Club Licence (3 Years) during the
year and that this had been secured un-opposed.
The club had been spot checked by the “liquor police” on two
occasions and we had been trading legally, and under all the rulings in place,
so this was good for the club, as the facility was the club biggest asset and
had to be protected. It was then Moved: that the Clubrooms Report be
accepted. Kingsland/Little. Carried.
From
the Chair, Mr Drake asked those present – if there were any matters in the
previous reports, which anyone wanted clarification on or wished to make comment
on. There being none, the meeting
proceeded onto the Audited Accounts.
Treasurer’s
Report:
Mr
Batty the spoke to the tabled, Auditors Report and Financial Statement, and went
through the report page by page. Mr Batty during the reported clarified some
points, and referred to the point where bookings in the clubrooms had been less
than for the previous year, but this was due to the new laws and also the
absence of the Secretary during the winter months while on vacation.
He
also clarified that the statement in the Junior Report that equipment had been
sadly lacking for the Juniors was not quite correct, as it was fact that all
strip had been replaced during his term in office, numbers may have grown in
that time and certainly put strain on the finances of the club, but the Junior
Section had certainly not been abandoned when it came to purchasing equipment
and gear.
In
reply to a question from the floor, with regard to Insurance, Mr Batty reported
that the figure represents Insurance Paid on the Building and Equipment for the
club and not Player Insurance. It was felt that this was covered under ACC but
this could perhaps be looked into.
There
being no further questions it was Moved:
the Financial Report as tabled be signed as accepted by the meeting. Batty/

Business:

a centenary committee in 2007.

Mr Little reported that a Mr P
McGlinchey had shown interest in having some input into the club has he wished
to be involved in some small way. This was taken on board.
iii.
Juniors: the issue of a Junior
Convenor not being appointed was a matter of urgency, and this needed to be
dealt with ASAP by the incoming committee. Perhaps pertinent to call a meeting
of the Junior Section. Cannot be left up to registrations in Feb/March.

followed on the allocation of
v.
Pitch Condition – Mr Thackwell
reported that he was onto the council re the condition in general of the park

floor re siting and replacing Junior Posts. This was in hand.
vii.
Quiz Nights – will be performed

viii.
Running of Club. – Mr Batty
outlined his fears, in that the club needed to move into a more professional
mode of running the club, with “Club Mark” counting for much more in these
times. A Strategic Plan would be needed for the future and this needed to be
addressed.
ix.
Mrs Kingsland reported that she
had had discussions with Mainland re setting up a program for Juniors such as
Burnside had adopted, and it had been reported back that those involved with
setting the programme up at Burnside were willing to share their experiences
with Nomads, and were happy to attend a meeting of a small number of club people
to discuss the possibilities.
x.
Mrs Kingsland re confirmed to the
Meeting that Mr Braithwaite who was not at the earlier part of the meeting was
returning for a further season, and at this point asked Mr Braithwaite if Mr K
Calder was also joining him. He then
stated that although it was not on paper, he had held discussions with Mr Calder
and he had not said no. Mr Braithwaite then went on to congratulate the club for
its growth, strength, and reported that he and his family were enjoying their
time with the club.
xi.
English Cup – Mrs Kingsland
reported that as per the newsletter, the cup was not in our grips as Mainland
had asked for its return, for valuation purposes and because of its value were
not under the Insurance Policy able to allow us to hold it at the Club.
There
being no further General Business, Mr Drake asked that a vote of thanks be shown
to the those members retiring, in particular Mrs Beaton whose long service for
the club had been a great asset and that she was going to be sorely missed.
