Finance
• 1s, 2s & 4s match fees being paid centrally is working well

• 5s - 7s captains are bank transferring the money which is also working well

Socials
• The money raised for the rugby ticket raffle was split 50/25/25 between the BHF / men's club / ladies club which meant that the quiz night raised £90
• Halloween social was very successful, aimed at juniors but the publicity meant that members of the ladies club brought their kids along which was great

• Next social will be the team challenge for the ladies club in January

Comms

• Thank you to Sue for coordinating & cooking teas on 25/11!

AOB
• Sadly Fiona will no longer be providing her brilliant teas after the end of this season, any suggestions of a replacement welcome!
• Still struggling with the conditions of the pitch & facilities at Wyndley (goals being destroyed, lines requiring painting, showers were not working one weekend, floodlights not adequate) and Vesey (changing rooms smelling of urine, no hot water and showers blocked off, toilet conditions) – this is being picked up at the joint club meetings as payment goes through the men’s club
• Huge thank you to Graham and Becky Batsford for the work that they do at Wyndley to prepare the pitch and facilities for the 1s game, Wyndley have been supportive in providing the requirements on the day
• Also big thank you to Becky B & Becky FH for the work they did in organising & leading the indoor sessions in the first half of the season
