3. President’s Report
Discussion:
Timbercorp sponsorship secured for $*******, for a second season in a row.
DH will continue pursuing more gold, silver, and bronze sponsors for the
season.
The committee discussed the responsibilities of possibly generating a profit
from sponsorship for the season:
• The club could possibly donate money to a charity, although this idea
was largely dismissed by the committee, been that we may need more
and more cash into the future;
• The club could put money into a term deposit, although this raises
concerns of earning money from interest;
• The committee residing on putting the money back into the club, and
providing the members with something they would value.
• CM reminded the committee, that we must be able to support
ourselves outside of the money provided by Monash Sport.
The club will be setting up a meeting between ourselves (represented
by DH, SP and CM) to meet with Hawthorn-Monash CC. The club is
looking to form an alliance, that could hopefully lead to the sharing of
facilities, and joint training sessions for both men's and women's squads.
This would also provide a pathway to allow quality young players to move
into the ranks of premier cricket.
The initial meeting will be set-up by Liz Pressick (Cricket Victoria).
Action: SP to e-mail the club about entertainment books, and welcome
all players to the new season
