REPORTS

ACTIONS?

CHAIRMAN:

Junior player:
Jonny Potter (Tigers)
was approved to play in the CKL.


The junior shirt cost was £1,166.34, slightly higher than the agreed figure of £1,126.80. This was due to a one off setup cost for the badge embroidery and a delivery charge.


SECRETARY:

Nothing to report.


TREASURER:

Accounts attached.


There is still the refund for SERL that I haven't processed (but I promise I will before the next meeting).
I have contacted CRC about a revised invoice for December and am still waiting. The invoice for Feb has just arrived and will be processed shortly.
I still need a revised invoice for the junior shirts but I'll sort that out with Liv.

It was noted that Liv has created a Facebook page for Cambridgeshire Youth Korfball which people are encouraged to ‘Like’ for updates and information.


REFEREEING:

(Howard) 6 people sat the theory test : 3 Uni, 2 Vikings, 1 City. All failed, some only by a few marks. I'm analysing the results to see where the misunderstandings were and I'm going to try to organise a targeted theory course, using slides from Adam Twiss's introductory to refereeing course and Graham Crafter's refereeing course, and another theory test.

1. ROLLING SUBS (AS PER SERL RULES) IN CKA DIVISION 1

(Gavin) Opinions were sought on the proposal for rolling subs to be implemented in division 1 as a trial. The benefits being that it is easier to share game time between players and give developing players experience with the opportunity for feedback. The potential problems are that it is difficult for referees to record and difficult for status calculations purposes. Careful consideration would need to be given to what info would be collected in scorecards and how this could/would be used.
In principle, everyone is happy to consider this as a trial. It was agreed that Gavin would contact clubs for their initial reactions and ideas for how to implement. Gavin will then put forward a proposal with details of status, scorecard information etc to be voted on at the agm.

2. THE CKA IS 25 IN 2018

Howard highlighted that in 2018, the CKA will be 25 years old. It was agreed this should be marked with a tournament or public event. This should be kept in mind going forward and early organisation and planning undertaken. To be discussed again at future meetings.


3. SENIOR DEVELOPMENT

The senior development targets were discussed.


The google doc of events in Cambridgeshire is likely to be useful in the coming months. Members are reminded to add any relevant dates to the document.


The timing for promoting the recruitment week was a little bit tight in the end, and so clubs reported they had not seen a large turnout of new players. It was agreed however, that it is very useful to have the poster ready for future attempts and which can be shared continually in the meantime.


Further to Ed’s previous advise about potentially advertising to graduating students, Sam advised that some korfball clubs place adverts within BUCS (British University and Colleges Sport) promotional bulletins. Sam agreed to investigate this to see if it is an option we could pursue next year. Sam also advised that it could be worth posting in the BUCS Facebook group to reach the same target audience.

Sam

Create a list of summer tournaments that could be targeted for attendance by a cross-CKA team.

It was suggested that a Doodle poll could be used to gauge interest in tournaments, which would be circulated by clubs to all members so that each player can express their interest. Coordinators can see the number of players available.


Coordinate a team for the inter area competition. This could include team training beforehand.

Carla’s training sessions continue to be well attended and successful, and she is hopeful of entering a team.


NEXT MEETING

Next meeting will be in mid-June.
