November Meeting

At the November meeting, the following matters were discussed and in some cases, decisions made.

• Claude pointed out that we have supplies of playing shirts and caps available. Anyone who needs these items should see him
• Exciting to see new sponsors coming on board in the area of targeted programs. Espresso Addami are sponsoring the pants of the first grade day/night strip and Monogram It the shirts. Additional sponsors are soon to be announced to cover the cost of the City dress shirts so that they will be free to players who have payed their fees in full . The first of these is Six Nines Imagery and the others will be announced within the week.
• Paul Fisher and Alison Callcott have done an excellent job in selecting the new club dress shirt and it was approved by the meeting
• President Terry Skewes praised the efforts of Chris Langston in running the club BBQ last Saturday night after breaking and dislocating his finger in first grade that afternoon and then spending a couple of hours at the A&E Dept of the hospital
• Phil Hood finalised the roster for putting and removing the covers at Riverside 1 during the Country Championships this week. If you are available, he could always use more helpers so ring Phil
• the meeting decided to form a "Future Committee" to look at setting some longer term goals for City United. Peter Langston, Claude Orenstein, Terry Skewes, Cory Callcott, Chris Langston and Richie O'Halloran were suggested as members of the committee. Everyone will have an input.
• as club members will be attending a BBQ at No.1 Oval on 11th December for the day/nighter, they are reminded to be a presence at the Tamworth City Bowling Club on the Friday night. We have a wonderfully supportive relationship which we all have a responsibility to protect.
• Captains will appoint someone to be responsible for handing our newsletters on the first day of each game. If you'd like the job, just tell the skipper.

The reward lapsed last week when no one answered the question correctly. The last man to take a hatrick in Tests for England was Ryan Sidebottom, playing against New Zealand in March 2008. Steven Fleming, playing in his last Test, was the first man out.
