it fits" |

| I'm still getting a lot of scorecards in the post for which matches have already been entered on-line. Just a reminder that there's no longer | ||||
| a requirement if you or your opponent are scoring electronically. Save that postage. | ||||
| Lord Kitchener still closed | 14th May |

| Proposed fee increase | 21st March |
|||
| It is our intention at the AGM to propose a fee increase from £25 to £30 - the first in seven years. | ||||
| This will also entitle members to free entry to all competitions. This proposal needs to be voted in, however we would encourage you to turn up on Friday at 7:30, so that we can collect payments before the meeting starts. In the unlikely event that the proposal is rejected, we'll happily refund the difference. | ||||
| Captain's Telephone Number - Clarification | 19th March |
|||
| A couple of people have raised this, so let me clarify- | ||||
| The reason we ask for the captain's number at registration is so that the Secretary can get in touch if needed. Often ringing the pub is fruitless. | ||||
| The ONLY time the number is published is if the venue has no telephone number - eg Faringdon Cricket Club & Nortoners - and then only with the captain's express permission. | ||||
| Similarly, if I bulk email, I'll use the Bcc field to ensure privacy. (apart from one last week which missed and for which I unreservedly apologise!) | ||||
| Hope that re-assures you and if you did enter a dummy number, perhaps you'd email with the real one. | ||||
