There was a good attendance for the AGM with around 20 people attending and a
few new members as well – welcome to all.

New members – please complete a membership form at
https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/NDSMembership/.

Existing members – we are not asking for a detailed form to be completed again
this year – however please complete the short form available here
even if you have paid your membership already.

The NDS membership remains at £15 for the season or £20 for a family
membership – one adult and any number of children under the age of 16 as at 1
August 2022.

Review of the last couple of seasons – £1009 in the bank…

Gazza Paine and Guy Cable remain as committee members and Kevin Salter
continues as club secretary.

Giles explained that he had thought about stepping down due to pressures etc – so
some things need to change this season or else!!

A big issue was people booking tickets and not paying for them and not saying
anything until they were told the pickup times, which impinges on club funds to the
detriment of all!

Another issue is the booking of tickets and transport and trying to collate
information from a myriad of sources – Facebook, emails, telephone calls etc.
Therefore one central system should be used going forward so that there is one
central point. This is to be done via email and the email address to be used is
[email protected].
When using this email ensure you record your name, and the match/transport you
are booking for.

A few attendees said they were willing to help with the driving! Thanks to all those
regular drivers over the last season and hopefully they will be able to enjoy the pre
match drinks on several occasions in the coming season!

It was agreed that all travelling pay £40 each for the transport (apart from the
drivers) – this will be kept under review to see how it works out for the first few
games.

Also agreed that if non-members want travel only they have to pay an extra £10.

Guy has set up the Fantasy Football again from his hospital bed!! We wish him a
speedy recovery!!

It was not possible to implement the bookings email address before, so the first
three games have been dealt with in the “old way” via Facebook etc.
