WELCOME TO GOMERSAL CRICKET CLUB This booklet has been produced to help both parents and players gain maximum enjoyment from membership of Gomersal Cricket Club. The club’s primary aim is to provide opportunities for young people from the age of eight years to receive quality coaching and competition in cricket.

Gomersal Cricket Club is working towards being registered ‘Club Mark’ registered. Club Mark is a national accreditation awarded by the ECB in conjunction with Sport England which acknowledges that the club will comply with a set of quality standards, in terms of club administration, the playing & cricket practice programme, our duty of care and child protection, sports equity and ethics and general club management. All Coaching is by qualified coaches who have been screened for their suitability to be working with young people. We are extremely proud of the progress made with our Junior and Youth sections of the club. We are particularly grateful to all those who have helped out in whatever way the can. The Junior and Youth teams all have a dedicated band of coaches. The club currently has teams at Under 9’s, 11’s, 13’s, 15’s and 17’s age groups and you will appreciate that running such a large sporting club is an expensive business. The General Committee of the club work hard to continue to develop fundraising programme to help secure our income. This includes grant aid and sponsorship. All age groups are expected to give their full support to these activities and we expect full participation from all parents. If you feel that you can volunteer for anything that will help us run the club better or more effectively please let us know. We are always looking for new members to join the committee. The Gomersal CC Junior section appreciate any amount of sponsorship money to help fund the club teams. If you are interested in sponsoring a team(s), match (£10) or a match ball (£5), please inform a Group Manager or Coach. Indeed we want to seek your views on all facets of the club and if there is anything you would like to say, please seek out any member of the junior section committee. Everyone concerned with the management of Gomersal Cricket Club is anxious that all members derive maximum benefit from being a part of the “Gomersal CC Experience” and are always seeking to improve what we offer. Your contribution and your opinions are important to us. Finally, we are very lucky to have excellent club facilities. Parents please take advantage of the club facilities and we look forward to seeing you in the bar.

WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE AT GOMERSAL CRICKET CLUB Our mission is to provide a safe and secure environment in which young people can participate in cricket so enabling the development of their physical and social skills. Above all we want the game of cricket to be enjoyed by all those who participate in it. Cricket is a fast dynamic and extremely physical sport and as such and participant must have a desire to play and enjoy the game, please do not force young people to play cricket if the do not wish to. Do not as parents try and live your cricket through your child. We also want to provide the infrastructure through which players can progress to Heavy Woollen, Schools, Yorkshire, ECB selection and professional club selection. 3. INFORMATION FOR PARENTS / CARERS Welcome to Gomersal Cricket Club. You are as welcome here as your children are. You can join the club as a member either individually or with a family membership. Whichever way you choose you will enjoy being a part of your cricket club. Please read the “Instruction to players” section carefully. Two points which you must note: Only paid up members can play & kit is only lost if it is unnamed. To get the most of your child’s experience at Gomersal Cricket Club you can volunteer to help in some way or other. The more volunteers we have the less there is for everyone else to do. Here are some important areas where help is always wanted: Transport to away matches. Catering for home games both before the game and after. Support and encourage your child as well as their team. Help the age Group Manager/Coach in the cricket ground preparation on match day. DO NOT JUST DROP AND GO. Gomersal Cricket Club is not a crèche. Ensure that your child is at the cricket practice ground / changing rooms and then inform the Coach of where and when you are to collect your child. I would like to take this opportunity to stress that you should at all times make arrangements for your child to travel to and from cricket practice sessions and matches. Players should arrive promptly. Also, you are responsible for collecting them at the end of each session, if they are not making their own way home. If for any reason you are going to be late picking your child up, please contact the relevant Coaching staff and let them know. You are required to complete the accompanying club membership registration form and Parental Consent form. For the safety of your child it is important that the Club is informed of all existing medical conditions and / or allergies diagnosed to your child. Medical Conditions Ensure you fill the medical forms in fully and inform your coach of any variances that occur to these during the year. If we are aware we can take the appropriate action. Please note: Any fines received by the club due to breaches of our code of conduct by parents or spectators from outside agencies, playing leagues or governing bodies are the responsibility of the offending person. Failure to accept responsibility for such fines will result in the suspension of the players concerned. The Executive reserves the right to impose further disciplinary measures against offending individuals. 3 GOMERSAL CRICKET CLUB JUNIOR MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2014 Fixtures A fixture list will be issued at the start of each season. These dates and locations are subject to change. Keep an eye on the notice board. The team selection for cricket games and travel arrangements will be posted on the club notice board. It is the player/parents responsibility to check if you have been selected to play. Never travel directly to away matches without first informing your child’s Coach / Group Manager. Attendance Group Managers/ Coaches will maintain an attendance register. Regular attendance helps both the team and the coach, but most importantly helps your child to progress. If your child cannot attend let the coach know. Do not let your child play if they are carrying an injury. If in doubt, ask. Bad Weather If you feel that the weather will cause either cricket practice or a match to be postponed please phone your child’s coach to check. Do not travel to an away match without checking you may have a wasted journey. Suggestions and comments Many parents / carers may have ideas that will help the club progress. Don’t keep them under your hat – tell any committee member. They will listen! If you have lots of ideas – then join the committee! Your club needs you! Sponsorship There are always sponsorship opportunities for individuals or companies. See a committee member if you or your company are able to sponsor any part of the club. 4 GOMERSAL CRICKET CLUB JUNIOR MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2014 4. GOMERSAL CRICKET CLUB JUNIOR SECTION RULES Gomersal Cricket Club has a separate constitution concerning the governance and articles of association of the whole club. We hope that this additional set of rules will provide a good guide to how we want the Junior section of the club to be run. We are sure parents/guardians and children alike will benefit from adhering to them. Gomersal Cricket Club is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all its members. The club believes that it is important that members, coaches, administrators, volunteers and parents associated with the club should, at all times, Show respect at all times Be encouraged to be open and honest at all times And to share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the club initially with the Junior Cricket Committee. The next stage would be the Senior Cricket Committee and then the General Committee. As a member of Gomersal Cricket Club you are expected to abide by the following junior club rules: All members must play cricket within the laws and in the spirit of the game. All members must respect umpires and their decisions. Do not show dissent. Do not throw tantrums or cricket bats. Such behaviour will not be tolerated by the Group Managers & Coaches. All members must respect colleagues, opponents and officials. Do not make derogatory comments or gestures about your colleagues or opponents. Never try to intimidate the opposition by threats or excessive triumphalism. Members should keep to agreed timings for cricket practice and competitions or inform their coach or team manager if they are not able to attend or that they are going to be late.

  • 6. Managing Fields of Conflict
    6. MANAGING FIELDS OF CONFLICT Three aspects of fields of conflict require active management: o visual character and setting o physical evidence for the historic terrain o archaeological evidence in and on the ground Together with written and graphical records, these are the primary resources for future interpretation and research. Terrain and battle archaeology are not yet being managed at any level. This is largely because the archaeological entity that is a field of conflict is only just coming into focus - potential cannot be managed in the absence of a general awareness of what it is. In practical terms, the ability to manage and to mitigate threats is determined by o the effectiveness of measures available o accessible information about the location, extent, and character of a field of conflict, and the wider significance of the evidence it contains o availability of appropriate guidance o well signposted sources of specialist advice None of these is currently in place. The ability to manage fields of conflict will depend upon the degree to which methodologies that are needed to increase understanding are improved by paradigmatic studies. The present state of things The main mechanisms currently available for battlefield management are: o ownership or guardianship, as with that part of Hastings that is managed by English Heritage o the planning process, operated by local authorities o agri-environment schemes managed by DEFRA 221 The Battlefields Register is non-statutory and so can only provide guidance for the operation of these mechanisms on sites that are registered. However, the draft Heritage Bill proposes to extend statutory controls to Registered battlefields; present discussion takes this into account as a potential fourth strand of management.1 The mechanisms themselves have not proved fully effective, in part because they were not designed for the task, and partly because of widespread unawareness as to where the archaeological significance of fields of conflict actually lies.

  • Summary of Changes | Page 1 of 5
    Arriva Yorkshire North Kirklees Network Changes February 2019 Summary of Changes | Page 1 of 5 119/120 Dewsbury - Ossett - Batley No change 126/127 Dewsbury - Ossett - Wakefield We’re making minor changes to the weekday afternoon timetable, some trips will run up to five minutes earlier and some trips will run up to five minutes later. 128/130 Dewsbury - Wakefield A small number of trips which are not well used will no longer run, and some trips will start further along the route. To make things simpler, the 130 is renumbered 128A. This service is run with financial support from WYCA (Metro). 200 Leeds - White Rose - Morley - Birstall - Gomersal - Cleckheaton We’re introducing new service 200 to replace part of the 220 and 222 routes. New service 200 will run every 30 minutes on Monday to Saturday daytimes, and hourly on Sundays too following requests from customers for links between Cleckheaton and the White Rose centre on a Sunday. The route of the new service follows the current 220/222 route between Leeds and Gomersal Hill Top. Then we’ll use Oxford Road and follow a route around ‘West End’ estate. From the end of Woodlands Road we’ll then drop down Spen Lane into Cleckheaton. A fully revised timetable gives us more recovery time in Leeds, which will make the timetable more robust. We’ve also ensured that buses are more evenly spaced between Leeds and White Rose shopping centre - there will be an Arriva Bus every 7 or 8 minutes on Monday to Saturday daytimes. 201/201A Leeds - White Rose - Morley - Batley - Healey - Heckmondwike We’re introducing new service 201 (with evening and early morning variant 201A) to replace part of the 221 and 223 routes.

  • The Calverley Information
    CALVERLEY HISTORY NOTES An aerial view of Calverley in the 1930’s would show the home of Dr. Hughes (Shaftesbury House) on Capel Street with the Trinity Methodist Church and Sunday School (now demolished) located in Clarke Street. One would also see Town Gate as well as Blackett Street on the left and the steep pitched roof of the Mechanic’s Institute which was originally opened in 1874. Church corner would highlight the Georgian style houses located around the church. As the amount of auto traffic increased over the years, it became necessary to widen the corner. As late as the 1930’s there were still a fair number of open fields surrounding this area, most of which have since been built upon. Calverley Bridge was originally built in 1710 by Sir Walter Calverley and had to be rebuilt in 1775 after the original weir was damaged by a rather severe storm. This bridge dates from the 13th century and had lasted for more than 650 years before ultimately being lost in the Second World War. Looking upstream from the bridge, one would see on the right the site of the former Calverley Mill which was originally a corn mill but later becoming a fulling mill. This site was also demolished, but was located on what is now known as Mill Lane. The Holly Park Mill Company, which is located on the edge of the village, commenced production in February 1868. Its first “mill engineer” was Stancliffe Cordingley. As a commercial operation, its work consisted of scouring, scribbling, spinning and spilling, especially, however, for other firms renting the premises within the mill.
