Meeting notes
Socials
The committee discussed plans for socials going forward. It was agreed that, in the absence of a Social Secretary, the committee would organise monthly socials as a group. Plans were discussed for a Halloween social and the club’s Christmas party. It was suggested that the Christmas party be on Saturday 12th December, the day of the last Cyclones and Archers games before Christmas. Those present agreed to look into options for this as soon as possible, as well as options for a social in November.
Warm up and cool down routine
Following the recent physio session held by Miq, it was agreed that coaches should implement the recommended warm up and cool down routine for injury prevention promoted by Power Up to Play.
Kit
Chris raised plans for the club to place an order for kit for new members; it was agreed this would be communicated to members shortly.
Refereeing
There was discussion around the club’s responsibility to provide referees for league matches. There were currently only two qualified referees, meaning a lot of the responsibility was falling on a small number of people. It was agreed that members should regularly be encouraged to practise refereeing in training sessions, to build confidence. It was also suggested that a rules session could be held, possibly on a day where our hall is unavailable for regular training; the Flute and Tankard was suggested as a venue, although this would be dependent on them having a projector or screen.
Cancelled training sessions
It was noted that there were several training sessions cancelled in November and December due to events at Sport Wales. There was discussion around replacing these with training sessions at a different venue if possible, as well as mid-week socials.
It was also agreed to cancel any training sessions between 22nd December and 31st December for the Christmas break.
