5. Business Arising From Previous Minutes
5.1 Chocolate Fundraising.
Cat reports that there are only 8 boxes of chocolates left to go out, but the money coming in has been a bit slow.

5.2 Twenty20 match vs MGAFC
Steve reports that the Twenty20 match was won by the football club, and those that were there have decided that the match should be an annual event. They will be playing for the Craig Robinson Cup and the Man of the Match award will be named the Glen Wadley medal. The cup and the medal will need to be purchased, and the cost will be split between the two clubs.

5.3 Nets
The nets have been repaired, with only the rubber backing left to be completed. Maddocks have dealt with the council.

Bel notes that she will be buying a spray can to redo the centre and outer wickets creases.


5.4 Practice Nets
This has not been completed. David Harrison to take a pole to organise new ones.

5.5 Centre Wicket nets
Steve reports that Craig is still keen for the club to repair the portable net so that it can be used at training. Craig is checking to see if he has some pegs that the club could use.

We still need to buy new poles for the net, and on measurement, they are 9ft tall.
It was decided that we should price and buy poles in the next couple of weeks.

6. Correspondence
6.1 Correspondence in
Cat reported that the only correspondence in was the two bills from MCA and Maddocks.

6.2 Correspondence out
The cheque has been sent to Cadbury’s for the fundraising.

7. Other Business
7.1 Events
It was decided that the 12th of November was too close to hold an event, as proper advertising and organising could not be done.

Dave H and Cat suggest that instead of holding an afternoon Christmas function, where not many players will turn up, that the Christmas Function be a Pub Crawl. The event shall be held on Dec 9.
Dave H and Cat to organise.

7.2 Sponsorship
The Racecourse Hotel needs to be invoiced.

The only other sponsorship items are that the paperwork for the St George incentive is almost completed and there is an incentive from AGL that every customer that switches to AGL will earn $30 for the club. The AGL incentive is being run through Cricket Victoria

Discussions are still taking place between Cat and Bel and Tracy and Max about the scoreboards. Max has shown interest in sponsoring a board that stays at the ground.

7.3 4th XI practice matches
The 4th XI have played two practice matches against the Sacred Heart and East Malvern CCs.
The first match ran well with each player charged $5 to cover the cost of the ball. The second game the charge of the ground was $110, so each player was charged $10.

Steve is to get money off Akshay for this game.

7.4 Scoreboards
This has already been covered.

The only other business was that the paperwork for the Liquor Licensing has been completed.

Dave H asks whether anyone has a trailer or van so that the old fridge can be moved and the new one collected. Steve is to add this to the next Gryphons email

8. Next meeting
The next meeting is to be advised.
