AGM Highlights

The great and the good of KCC gathered in the Feignies Lounge in Keyworth Village Hall for our Annual Meeting on January 11th. Highlights of the evening's discussion are listed below.

Election of Officers

After over a decade of sterling service, Alan Copson has decided to pass on the President’s baton, and accepted the invitation to become an Honorary Vice President. Barry Baker was elected our new President. John Dring has become KPFA Chairman, so Simon Tuckwell has taken on the role of KCC rep. Ted is taking a well earned retirement from Keyworth Show rep, and we will be looking for volunteers to replace this important role. Other positions remained unchanged.

Ground Improvements

We agreed to invest in the following ground improvements to make the Field of Dreams fit for 1A.

Covers for the wicket
Outdoor practice net
Bottom end fence to stop balls going in the hedge
Re-painting changing rooms and old sightscreen
New numbers for the scoreboard
Extra boundary flags
Honours board
Trophy cabinet
Consider replacing changing room benches

Dale is going to organise a Ground Day before the start of the season – hopefully with a gang of volunteers we can crack all of the jobs in one day.

Kev Pickaver

Sorry to pass on the very sad news that Kev passed away just before Christmas.

I'm sure I speak for all at KCC in passing on our condolences and thoughts.

I know we all had great fun in Kev's company both on and off the field. And he made our local rivalry with Plumtree friendly in every sense.

Sadly missed.

Winter Nets

Winter Nets start on Tuesday 8th January. 9.00pm at Trent Bridge (same nets as last year).
