Got my clubs AGM tonight, anyone had theirs yet?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Yeh we had ours on the 25th so got it out of the way early!

[golders]

Has anyone been to an AGM where it has really kicked off?! What do your clubs do process-wise when selecting captains?

[Colesy]

Had ours last month, resigned vice-captaincy.

[Howzat]

We just give everyone a ripped piece of paper and then put it into a box and the commite count up the votes. I can see it kicking off tonight, two guys going for 3rd XI skipper.

Interesting Leo. at our club, those who wish to stand put their names forward, but then the Cricket Action Group (CAG) decides. The CAG consists of Chairman, 1's/2's/3's/sundays skippers, cricket developement officer and not sure who else. The thinking is that if it goes to a member vote it becomes a popularity contest, and players from different teams vote on captains they don't really know...
What they don't realise is that they have created a closed shop with no f'ing stock!!

Got our next month with our 1st xi and 2nd xi skipper apparently stepping down but doubt it we will see

Last year we had an open vote,

this year we have had a small commitee to interview potential captains to access skills & they have mindset of the club.

[Simmy]

we had r's months ago...

we basically read out all the posistions

people put there name forward then somebody has to 2nd the vote. if its between 2 people we have a show of hands

[roco]

That's the same as ours sim just a show of hands

[Ayrtek Cricket]

And ours can't see how a committee gets to decide rather Han the club members who pay their annual subs etc and form the club

[pacman75cricket]

Well this is down to poor player discipline & not addressing through the right channels going straight to the chairman

[Simmy]

thats not to good

as we are a village club and we all have a great crack so we never really have any fighting..

apart from a team mate filling a 7up bottle full of water out of a drain then are 2nd team captin asking for a drink lol

[pacman75cricket]

Yeh just needed to make a few changes to make sure we move the club forward in the right way with guys that are committed to the club.

Why we took the step to look at a new league for next season, to start with a clean slate & address issues

[jonpinson]

Not sure if it is the same for others, but the AGM was the one night a year a bunch of people who hate each other don't have to pretend they don't...
