With the issue of Captain and Secretary still outstanding we have to make some decisions fairly quickly, indeed the treasurer has to be named at the AGM so it doesn’t leave us long to decide that. I cannot continue doing it this season due to work commitments and in fact I don’t expect to be available for many games in May as I’m working away Monday-Thursday starting on the 13th – so probably can’t make the presentation myself.

While not as hair pulling as the Captains role as there’s no phoning around after players and trying to sort an XI the Secretary role does have the most responsibility as far as the League is concerned because it is the Secretary who has to make sure the result cards are filled in, signed and sent to the league the day after the game. Any correspondence, details of match cancellations etc from the League will also go to the Secretary. Therefore it is essential that a Secretary be available for almost all games (I think I’ve missed 2 in 3 years) but doing the role does almost guarantee selection so there are perks in that respect. I will hopefully be back and playing by June but based on previous years that could be 8 games into the season – at that point I’m happy to help out and fill in if the secretary is away but it is the first month that is crucial and why someone needs to volunteer to take on the job by the 13th and then attend the AGM on the 20th.

Also after doing it for too many years and giving notice last year I’m confirming that I’m going to step down as secretary for next season. It was hard enough last year with me living outside of Cardiff but with me now also working equally far away in another direction it’s proven quite a headache. It’s also wound work up good and proper due to my having to commit to be at games sometimes twice a week so unable to travel.

The secretary role is suited to someone who can commit to being at the vast majority of games – I think I’ve missed 2 in the last 4 years – as you are responsible for making sure the scorecards are completed and signed, the score texted in and the scorecard copied up and scanned or posted to the league the next day. You would also be responsible for any communication with the league and other teams. I’m happy to carry on doing the web site if the person taking over is able to send me the copy of the scorecard. Any volunteers? Please note we can’t have a team if we don’t have a secretary.

Baz is currently organising the end of season do so expect me to contact you all about player votes shortly.

Tuesdays extras are Brett, Steve H and Gaz
Thursdays are Martin, Lewis and Jimmy

Let’s try to get good sides out for both games as we’re playing two of the bottom 3 but both won well on Monday.

Apologies for the delay in the cards from last game, I’ve lacked the motivation to do it!
