  1. Chairman’s statement – kept it brief this year to reflect on the crazy, interrupted season and thank all members, players, families for their hard work and commitment. We came out of it reasonably well considering the hurdles and constraints. Looking forward to getting everyone registered and the new season starting soon.
  2. Election of officers:
No new nominations have been received. For each post the existing official was asked to confirm they wished to stand for re-election. The meeting was asked if they had any questions for the nominee. The meeting was offered the option of the nominee leaving the virtual ’room’ but this was declined in all cases. The following officials were elected unanimously:
Chair – Ian Hurry
Vice Chair – Andy Blades
Secretary – Christine Hurry
Treasurer – Kate Pouralli-Heath (elected in her absence)
Committee members: Carey Urand
                             Martin Urand
                             Luke Gregory
                             Karen davis (elected in her absence)
                             Vacancy – this was agreed to be advertised and deferred to the next committee meeting.
  1. Financial Statement – this was presented by the secretary in the absence of the treasurer. Despite a very unprecedented year and lower income than forecast due to lockdowns, our balance sheet was good as we had carefully controlled spending. Income = £13,226.58 and outgoings = £12,590.75. The accounts had been verified by the secretary and the treasurer and audited by an accountant. The accounts have been submitted to the FA and accepted as part of our affiliation. It was explained that the spending is always slightly skewed as the bills for pitches come in quite a long time after we use them for matches. We will be carefully looking at the budget for the upcoming season.
  2. Set the date of next committee meeting: August 27th 2021.
  3. The AGM was adjourned but the committee stayed on the call to answer questions from new members.
