Real Wood
AGM Goals – Brislington 4th
July 2013
Present: Neil S, Neil W, Will, Tall Mark, Jimmer, Matt Patt, Batts, Swifty, Les, Matt
A, Rich, Andy
It was agreed that the club should continue to run jointly
as a 5-a-side and 11-a-side.
The overwhelming message of the meeting was that all club
members should help out as much as possible.
This could mean taking on one of the main roles as listed below or
simply being a good ‘team player’ by
responding promptly to communications, paying subs and match fees promptly,
running the line/subbing when required etc.
Communication - All
Texts and email are still the preferred methods of
communication and are thought to work effectively. It is important that all club members
respond, positively or negatively, to all communications as soon as possible.
Match Reports are enjoyed by all and should be encouraged,
however short, truthful and/or inappropriate they are. If you feel like writing something, do. The Matts loosely agreed to try to get the
ball rolling next season.
Finances - Les
Les reported that we just about broke even last year… total
income of £2557 and outgoings of £2551.
However, to avoid Les in particular incurring any personal
expense in covering costs it was agreed that we need to raise more money so
that there are more funds available to cover our expenses. Several suggestions were discussed and it was
finally agreed that the simplest solution was that all club members should pay
an annual subscription of £20 and that all match fees (5’s and 11’s) should be
increased from £5 to £6 per match (correct change please!).
Fixtures - Rich
In the absence of any volunteers to take on this role, Rich
said he would be happy to continue with Les’s backup and support
Kit – Mark (backed up by Andy/Jimmer)
Despite Batty’s annual plea for a new kit (many of us think
it was the only reason he turned up) we do have two serviceable kits (one black
and one blue) and there seems no reason to spend money on a new kit yet.
Mark volunteered to be the Kit Man. This will include ensuring that kit is washed
after (or possibly just before J)
matches, either by himself or by recruiting a ‘volunteer’. Also monitoring the completeness and quality
of the kit and arranging/buying items (balls, pumps, socks etc.) when needed.

Swifty
Thursday 5’s (4’s L)
5’s has been going through a rough patch for a few months
with several weeks being cancelled or only getting 4-a-side. Unfortunately, on two occasions the pitch had
to be cancelled too late and the fee (£46.50) was forfeited. We should certainly try to avoid this
happening in the future.
We also discussed whether we should try for an earlier time
on Thursday nights, but the majority said that later (i.e. 8:45) suited them
better so we will keep it at that.
Les will book us up for another block booking of 10
weeks.
Because Goals is quite an expensive venue Will is also going
to look around to see what other options, if any, are available. It was agreed that any new venue should be
central(ish) Bristol and should preferably have facilities (i.e. a bar) on the
site as the post-match lecture by Mark is all part of the deal.
Matt P will continue to send the texts for 5s.
Les will pay for the pitches

summing up nicely the great season that we have just had … “We were the highest club in our division not
to get promoted”. Words of great wisdom indeed.
