AGM 2011

The Clubs AGM was held on Wednesday 3 August, 7pm at Princes Mead School. The main points:

Panthers will continue in the Wessex League training and playing home games on Thursdays at Kings School.

The mens teams will continue in the Solent League: Wasps will play in division 1 on Thursdays 8pm at River Park Leisure Centre, Wizards will play in division 3 on Tuesdays 8pm at Kings school and the Warriors will play division 4 on Sundays 2pm at Kings school. Unfortuantely we could not give Wessex league division 2 games priority over Solent League division 1 games so the plan to play Wessex games on Thursdays at River Park was not possible.

Due to increased costs of using Princes Mead school it was felt that we would have to leave the facility and take the 2-4pm slot at Kings school on Sundays from September.

We are still owed over £250 from players subs, these will have to be paid off before the start of next season. More reminders are to be sent shortly.

We will require each team to have a coach (can be a player coach) to coach teams and organise players for games, a secretary responsible for confirming games with opposing teams, referees and organising table officials and a team Finance Manager for chasing members of the team for payment of subs in liaison with the club treasurer.

We will have a pre season meeting in September to ensure that all the roles are filled. If we don't get enough volunteers teams will have to be cut.

Men

Registration fees will be £30, subs will be 9 monthly payments of £25 (total payments £255 per player), students will pay £20 per month - payment of the subs entitles you to come to all available training sessions, up to 3 per week.. Pay as you play and train fees can be worked out with the treasurer and will cost £4 per training session and £5 per game. The training session fees will be the same for guests.

Women

Registration fees will be £25, subs will be 9 monthly payments of £25. This entitles you to all training and games on Thursdays at Kings as wel as away games. Panthers players are also welcome to the Sunday sessions 2-4pm at Kings when the Warriors do not have a home game.
