Report of Annual General Meeting, 2018
By Tom Woods
LCC Chairman
Lamma Cricket Club’s Annual General Meeting was held Thursday, 14th June, 2018 at Lamma’s spiritual home and a long-standing sponsor, The Island Bar, Lamma Island.
The meeting was attended by a Club record 24 members.
The meeting began with the 2017/18 ExCom presenting their annual reports and here’s a summary:
• League Captain – AS. Tremendous achievements (winning Div #2). Congratulations to all.
• Social & Tour report – RR. A record number of ‘social fixtures’.
• Sponsorship report – BC. Thanked this year’s sponsors. Sponsorship looking healthy moving forward.
• Team Manager’s report – RM. Outstanding coaching sessions at KCC.
• Events and Tours report and future plans – IH. We went to some places; we will go to some more places next year.
• Financial – DZ. There is money in the bank. Cautious optimism and continued close control of finances recommended.
• Secretary’s report – PD. Note of thanks to Atin Sharma for his contributions to match-day scoring and for umpiring on behalf of LCC.
• Chairman’s report – TW. Thanks to all ExCom members for their efforts with a special tip of the hat to outgoing ExCom members Z-Man and Riggers.
The 2018/19 ExCom were sworn in as follows (all proposed and seconded by members in the room):
• Chairman – Tom Woods
• League Captain – Adrian Sargent
• Social Captain – Godfrey Mitchell
• Secretary – Phil Daniels
• Treasurer – Simon Ward
• Team Manager – Royce McDonald
• Sponsorship & Marketing – Ben Cooper
• Events & Tours – Ian Harling
Outgoing Social Captain, Riggers, communicated a special message to incoming Social Skipper, Goddy; “Make it your own”.
In the Chairman’s acceptance speech, I wished the incoming ExCom a successful year in office and conveyed the following three wishes for the 2018/19 season:
1. WhatsApp groups are kept separate. One for banter and one for official Club business.
2. Members indicate their availability on Team Snap for all events posted (click ‘✓’ if you can, ‘✗’ if you can't, or ‘?’ if you're not sure, but please don't leave it blank).
3. Contribute to the website. Text and photos (with captions) to IH. One designated content collector per event.
Big thanks to Tarry and the Island Bar for hosting us!
Immediately following the AGM, the Club’s End of Season Awards:
• Social Player of the Year – Ian Harling
• Fielder of the Year – Mads Shankar
• Bowler of the Year – Brenton McDonald
• Batsman of the Year – Akbar Kahn
• League Captain’s Player of the Year – Vinny Philipose
• Lamma CC Players’ Player of the Year – Nikhil Gupte
Congrats to all!
Immediately following the awards, Ian Beck was bestowed with the honour of becoming Lamma Cricket Club’s 7th Life Member which was warmly received by the room.
Overall, there were many things to celebrate during the 2017/18 season, not least of course was winning the Saturday Division 2 'Championship' League.
Here’s to continued success in 2018/19 and beyond.
