3. Captain Elections
3.1. Women’s First Eleven Captain
Discussion:
Natalie Abbott applied for captaincy of the Women’s first eleven, and with the resignation of Vanessa Henderson, she was the sole applicant. Craig Robinson had a large amount of trust in Natalie’s ability as captain, and believes that the club will benefit from having an experienced captain.

MOTION: ‘That Natalie Abbott be the Women’s first Eleven Captain for season 2002/2003, and any further seasons until she stands down.’
Moved: Shelley Wilson
Seconded: Bec MacLeod
CARRIED: Yes


3.2. Men’s First Eleven Captain
Discussion:
It was decided unanimously that there was no reason to dismiss Nirosh Weerasinghe as captain of the men’s first eleven. Nirosh had completed a successful season last year, and the club was very happy with his performance.

MOTION: ‘That Nirosh Weerasinghe will be the Men’s First Eleven Captain for season 2002/2003, and any further seasons until he stands down.’
Moved: Tracy Widdows
Seconded: Dave Bennett
CARRIED: Yes

3.3. Men’s Second Eleven Captain
Discussion:
Lloyd Heinrich and Donald Baulch both submitted an application for the second eleven captaincy. The committee believes that this role would benefit from the experience of a cricketer such as Don for the coming season.

MOTION: ‘That Donald Baulch will be the Men’s Second Eleven Captain for season 2002/2003, and any further seasons until he stands down.’
Moved: Bec MacLeod
Seconded: Dave Bennett
CARRIED: Yes (Shelley Wilson abstained from voting)

3.4. Men’s Third Eleven Captain
Discussion:
Mrinal Mahajan and Kelvin Choy both submitted applications for third eleven captaincy. It was observed by the committee that Kelvin was yet to attend training this season, and that Mrinal had been training since July.
Mrinal has also attracted over ten new players to training during this time.

MOTION: ‘That Mrinal Mahajan will be the Men’s Third Eleven Captain for season 2002/2003, and any further seasons until he stands down.’
Moved: Stephen Pearson
Seconded: Shelley Wilson
CARRIED: Yes

3.5. Women’s Second Eleven
Discussion:
The women’s second did not have an application because there is yet to build a team. At the next meeting it will be decided if the club is to proceed with having a women’s eleven for the coming season. The captain will be elected once the make up of the team is known.
