  • Bassetlaw & District Cricket League
    BASSETLAW & DISTRICT CRICKET LEAGUE Minutes of a Management Committee meeting held at Worksop Cricket Club on Tuesday, 12th July 2005 at 7.15pm. Apologies for absence were received from Messrs. J. C. Garton (Chairman), D. Graney, K. Board, G. Holden Present: Messrs. M. J. Smedley (Vice- Chairman), J. A. Bennett, C. Adwick, C. Drury, D. Edmunds, T. Haywood, J. Heaman, J. Leaning, G. Evans, J. H. Goodman, G. Pym, K. Lound, G. Jones, J. B. Wilson, B. Norris, P. Neale, C. R. Martin (Secretary). The Minutes of the last Meeting were read. An objection was raised to the following minute concerning player registration: “It was agreed that, if a player who had been registered as an overseas player [C(iv)] was subsequently registered under another category, documentary evidence should be provided to show that absences from the UK had not exceeded the prescribed limits.” The Secretary recorded comments to indicate that: “It should be the responsibility of a player to prove that he has been present in the country for the required period by means of a passport (or photocopy) or other means confirming arrivals and departures, or evidence of time working here. Players currently under investigation should be asked to produce this within seven days of receipt of a letter of request.” The Vice-Chairman then signed the minutes. Matters Arising. One umpire’s report had been received concerning a pitch at Blyth, but no response to the letter to the club, and it was agreed to suggest to them that Paul Wilson be approached to give advice. The Disciplinary Hearing following the match between Rose Leisure and Bilsthorpe had been adjourned and was to be re-convened on 19th July.

  • November 2013 Western Australian Cricket Umpires’ Association November 2013
    western australian cricket umpires association November 2013 Western Australian Cricket Umpires’ Association November 2013 A new online home… Trent Steenholdt If you’re IT savvy like me, you may have noticed that the WACUA Committee this season has really put a focus on promoting the association via the forums of social media (Facebook and YouTube), the branding redesign and the new website. The Committee as part of our constitution holds a responsibility to “foster, encourage and promote the game of cricket in all respects” and we thought that as a team, we should try to deliver this while providing the best benefit add to our members. As part of this work, our interactions with social media have certainly changed. In the past weeks, you may have seen that we’ve actually taken the focus away from the “closed” WACUA Facebook group and put our efforts into a public, for all to see, Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/wacua). This page was primarily created for two purposes - one to promote the WACUA and attract new members and business sponsorships but also, and more importantly, to publically recognise milestones and achievements made by our members. Many milestones and achievements have happened in the past and we’ve simply been unable to promote them with pupils outside of the WACUA! Our members achievements in the opinion of the committee should be available for all to see, whether he or she is a fan of umpire’s overseas or plays, officiates or participates in some way to the WADCCI/ WACA District Cricket Competition. While the “closed” Facebook group (www.facebook.com/groups/wacua.members) has now taken a back step to be for members only to discuss the contentious issues that surround the WACA/WADCCI cricket umpiring ranks, the public page has already been a massive success! The amount of ‘likes’ that we have already received actually beats the efforts of other Cricket Umpires (and Scorers) Associations in Australia and throughout the world.
