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...

Sounds like you have awesome team spirit at your club jon!

[Liam-SCCC]

We had ours, only 1 person went for each captaincy roles and there were no objections. I am also now the Youth Coordinator for the club!

Our AGM seems to be more club orientated in terms of finances, appointing chairman, treasury and other admin type roles.

Cricket roles, such as captaincy and decided at a separate players meeting, though in the 2 years I've attended no appointments have had to be contested, as only one person was ever proposed.

At my last club we appointed a committee at the AGM, and it was the committee's job to appoint the captains.

It was only my club before that we we had what I would recognise as a proper AGM - all positions voted on by club members. If 2 people stood for the same role then the 2 candidates leave the room whilst there is a show of hands

Can't say I've ever been to an agm like that....

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Ours are the same as what mr firefly references...with 5 adult teams it takes a while tho them! Goes to a vote of all paying members to decide upon who gets the position if two people stand for the role

[ianbuchanan]

Our club has a comittee who have monthly meetings. This consists of:

President
Chairman
Secretary
Treasurer
Head of Youth Cricket
Head of Selection
Groundsman
1st Team Captain
2nd Team Captain
3rd Team Captain
Appointed Committee Member (Me )
Appointed Committee Member
Appointed Committee Member
Club Coach

Usually captains are put forward, and the committee forwards and seconds them. At the AGM, if there is a contested decision there is a show of hands....

Could present a problem as there are 4 potential candidates for 2nd team skipper!

Had ours on sunday, kicked off on quite a high level, lots of swearing from older members who don't want us to be as successful as they were. Secretary walked out, not sure whats happened since.. :L

[Tumo]

Had an awful one last year, have changed clubs since then and haven't been to this years. Last years' involved the club putting in a selection committee, problem was one of the players was ON it, and not the captain. Said player wouldn't have got into strongest XI but for the fact he was on selection committee. Our 1sts captain quit a couple of weeks later, because of the crap that went down. I got drafted in as Skipper, whilst doing Secretary as well. Went unbeaten for about 6 games, then it all broke down because I didn't pick said selection committee member, then a mass exodus of about 12 players occurred, because the men at the top didn't like the fact that our sides were "apparently" all youngsters, even though we had 3 over 40's in our side... Funnily enough, the committee member is now captain of a side that I can only class as "mercenary", never have the same 11, or in fact more than 4 of the same players a week!

[tim2000s]

And then you wonder why the Aussies have problems picking a side....
