Finances
The financial year ends in February. Accounts to December will be available to us in Januarys meeting. Plans for 2014/2015 budget will commence in Feb. Subs collection is still being undertaken, with most people part in part at least. Rob Johnson is to remain on council as financial officer and so will be liaising with the new captains regarding next seasons budget. There have been some unidentified lodgements coming through the accounts so ways of minimising this were discussed
Social
The club dinner has been set for the 29th of March 2014 so keep the date free! Venue is still TBC
The 7th of December went well with over 20 supporters enjoying lunch during the day and then 25 enjoying dinner hosted by Rob that evening. The Junior parties will take place this week.
We are in the process of planning for an u16 trip abroad and and u12/u14 day trip within Ireland. Details will be announced on both once confirmed
We have been in touch with a company in the UK regarding helping us host Mayfest this year. It is likely to run in the first weekend of May.
Hockey matters
Mens kit is expected in the 1st week of January. There will be a sponsors day during one of the home IHL fixtures for those who kindly helped fund their kit. We will hopefully also host another supporters lunch that day also
We have been unable to find a suitable date for the coaching of the caches. We especially wish to target the ladies side of the club at this moment in time. If we cannot find a date for this year planning will commence at the end of season over how to do this regularly next year
Council update to committee
The pitch replacement group will meet again in January to finalise the tender documents before they are sent out. The testing on the shock pad is currently taking place. Efforts are being made to clean the pitch in early January
AOB
The committee will begin to consider the new members it requires once the AGM occurs in mid-April. The meeting in March will relate mainly to finalising dinner details while Aprils one will be given to helping bring our new captains on board/planning for the season ahead
