PARTICIPATION - None SPORTS
SECTION TI
Snr. Football – Written report tabled . Received
prize for most improved ground thanks to Sally Ramshaw. Dog fouling still an
issue. KY advised had met with dog warden and he advised would tighten up patrols.
Broken glass/bottles an issue. KY suggested locking gates at night – not
practicable. Junior football – goal posts will be down shortly will
ensure down for 17th Watercress Festival. TY
Football - Alresford under 18’s have reached
Southampton Youth League Cup Final. Match to take place at St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton on Tuesday May 12th kick off 4pm. Reported a good
season. AJ Cricket - Discussed requested
items as referred to in email sent
by K Bristow (Item 8.4 on Agenda) TI confirmed that holes in ground and touch
line trench were currently being dealt
with. The request for having the wicket rolled is to be left until spoken
with Maintenance people. The outfield cut was discussed with P Bridges. RG
confirmed that the cut is done fortnightly with provision for additional cuts
during growing season, advised that all clubs do own maintenance. AJ agreed with S Ramshaw ARC Manager doing
the cricket teas. Arrangements for 20/20 match for John Arlott Plaque day is
proceeding well HO Rugby
- Advised no report however good
season with an expanding group of players. Main issue from his committee was
the CPO. Rugby Club provides support
for other organisation’s and events.
Difficult to hold on to 16-18 group in Alresford due to lack of pitch
and are losing them to other towns Loss of 12 players because have no Junior
Team. Rugby Club is a valuable part of
the social set up of Alresford desperately need the ground. Asked for
dedicated group to drive this through does not feel they are moving forward
looks to the committee for reassurances. RG advised the issue had been the LDF over the last six
months. NATC batted with WCC against
using the land for housing. This has
now been approved by WCC (10 days ago) HO What can be done to drive forward. RG NATC progress in parallel with land valuation – not yet
received and requested likely legal costs
from WCC. How do NATC fund this, is Open Spaces fund, £140,000 enough
– If not what support can be expected from Rugby Club. HO Understood has valuation to be £110,000 is the value
less now? If £100,000 leaves only £40K for legal fees which are likely to be
horrendous. If NATC can show projected
short fall can then approach RFU and local sponsors. Can get interest free
loan over 15 years from RFU cannot see this as much of a problem. Rugby Club great value to ARC an Awards
Dinner at ARC this Friday bringing about £1,200 to the Bar. RG The area of land is a bit over 6 acres – lot of land
for 2 pitches. What size of pitch is
wanted including ancillary bits. Clarify 4 or 6 acres this would have an
effect on the cost price calculated per hectare. HO will measure up next week and advise. RG has plan if
required can be emailed RG summarized NATC await all likely costs to be returned
and if win CPO NATC must have budget in place HO Asked to be kept updated of all progress re this issue. RMcP Tennis The Tennis Lease finally
signed however Planning Permission is needed for the pavilion. Good performance by the players although
the Ladies will be moving to 2nd Division. SMcC Perins – Written report
tabled – any questions none received.
