1. Attendees and apologies
Members present and upstanding: AEMcC, Ed t-HOM-as, the
Morganeucadon, Broon, TJR, Navjot.
Apologies: Potty, DrWarner, Stoat, Jon Lucarotti, Kit Balyntine, Alex-the-
boyfriend-ofLinnie's-posh-mate-Kezia-who-was-at-Uni-with-Nav's-goatee-
bearded-mate-Huge-and-also-in-Country-Life, and Damon who was in
Cannonbury attempting to burst a blood vessel apparently.
NB1 Alex-the-boyfriend-ofLinnie's-posh-mate-Kezia-who-was-at-Uni-with-
Nav's-goatee-bearded-mate-Huge-and-also-in-Country-Life will be rather
tricky to fit in the scorebook - can anyone think of a nickname?
NB2 The joke about Navjot being a poor apology for a human being does not
get funnier with retelling.
2. Minutes of the last meeting
The minutes of the last meeting were agreed to be an accurate account of the
IGM. The following points have since been clarified:
Teas: there is no tradition of supplying teas to the opposition since an
allegation of food poisoning was made. Thus players should bring their own
refreshments.
Patroness: Navjot to write to Melvin now web site updated.
Kit: Navjot to sort a team order for polo shirts, ca. £10-15 each.

3. Matters arising
3.1 Fixtures
Fixtures are as below, the demise of Boundary CC leaves free weekends on
May 15 and June 19, as well as 22 May and 28 August, which were already
free.

INSERT FIXTURE LIST
3.2 Fittings
The club has loan of sufficient bats, pads, gloves and helmets to function.
Graham has bought 'keeper kit, which he will lend to others if he is
away, though the club aims to buy this back from him in the long run.
The Club currently has one umpire's jacket, and it is proposed that DrWarner
acquire another, if he feels that NHS funds are too limited, then we will nick
one of Fran Bell. Navjot has promised two sets of six graptolites.
Players are urged to buy their own boxes to avoid an outbreak of the Clap in
NE London.
This leaves us needing the following: 2 sets of stumps and bails, 2 bowler's
run up markers, 1 set of boundary markers, a scorebook, and 2 boxes of
matchballs (one good lot for us, and one box of sponges for the opposition).
4. Budget

TJ unveiled the budget (as below) - thankfully no-one reprised Julian
Clary's battered red box joke - and it was agreed that a £5 match fee would
be paid by all players. After much shouting of 'bargain' and 'cheap at twice the
price'
The club account is currently under the name of 'W staircase 2000/1' and TJ,
Ed t-HOM-as (could Ed acquire a better nickname too - open to
suggestions?) and Stoat are signatories.
After a brief discussion it was decided that online-payment-merjigs we far too
complicated for Luddites like Navjot and the Morganeucadon, the latter is after
all even more primitive than the mouse. (I have fined myself for making a
fossil joke).
TJ collected the outstanding fines from all present.
5. Constitution
The draft constitution was accepted with two changes:
Clause 3.1 now reads "of embarrassingly limited ability" in line with the
Stoat's suggestion
Clause 8.2.4 now reads "the fines pot will provide post match refreshments
for the team, save fines for goldies which will go to the primary club" as
suggested by one Peregrine D. Wait!.
The follwing issues arose from a reading of the constitution:
Section 2: The moto(s/c.) is to be decided by online competition. Damon is
best referred to clause 2.4 of the constitution and sections 6 and 7.1 of the
IGM with regard to his vague inquiry concerning mopeds and spelling
mistakes.
Clause 4.3 Navjot is to write to Ben the Cunt informing him of his ineligibility,
enclosing a photo of the team brandishing a sign saying "Fuck off Ben the
Cunt."
6. Local alehouses and sponsorship
Navjot suggested as the Milton Brewery is just about to re-open the Pembury
(90 Amhurst Road) in Hackney, that adoption of this as a local might provide
players and potential sponsor income, given that he knows the cricket loving
head brewer. See http://www.miltonbrewery.co.uk/ for further details.
I

I            		However, as the landlord of the pub on the park offered us players and a
'clubhouse' it might be worth following this up first. McClarence agreed to
contact them ASAP, though there are reservations about distance from the
pitches as ideally we'd want a pub that we could use before and after games.
7. Recruitment
Andy urged everyone to make a big recruitment effort amongst there friends
and relations, as we are still a few players short of a squad.
It was thought that advertising to the general public was not a good idea as
we might get players who are either too good or just pricks.
Navjot will write to Henry Olonga and John Major to ask them if they want a
game.
8. Any other business
8.1 Club Nappy
A nappy will be provided when facing pace deliveries to avoid visible soiling of
the batsman's whites.
