2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) Minutes

27 Nov 2025

The 2025 AGM opened with the Chairman outlining his first-year priorities, including improving club policies, increasing member engagement, strengthening finances through sponsorships, and enhancing the club’s brand. The Secretary reported consistent monthly meetings, improved registration processes, and 60 new members, though only a third were active, with half of playing members registered with Cricket Scotland. The Treasurer noted a bank balance of £3,835.43 but a seasonal deficit of £565.19 due to higher costs and reduced income, with a £1,000 sponsorship expected to support the next financial year. Captain reports highlighted a challenging season for the First XI after losing several key players, while the Second XI enjoyed strong performances and narrowly missed promotion by 0.5 points; the Midweek XI faced availability issues early on. Survey feedback praised the club’s friendly environment but raised concerns about communication, selection fairness, and timekeeping, with suggestions for more net sessions and improved systems. All constitution motions passed, including nomination deadlines, role eligibility criteria, and adding a Development Manager position. Elections confirmed Umer Tahir as Chairman, Peter Thomson as Treasurer, Anil Budha as Secretary, Aafaque Hussain as 1st XI Captain, Zakir Hussain as 2nd XI Captain, Saif Khan as Midweek Captain, Wasim Haider as Social Secretary, and Zahid Rasool as Development Manager. No major issues were raised under AOB, and the meeting closed at 21:30.
