Groundsman Association Seeks secretary
Due to unforeseen circumstances the Association finds itself without a Secretary. Barrie Keeble sadly passed away & John Wilson (Joint Secretary) has been ill over the last few months & can not continue the role either.
There are not too many demands as we only have a few Management meetings a year but if someone could volunteer to be elected at the upcoming AGM it would be much appreciated. In the short term the Board will provide cover but do need a long term replacement.
We also need a representative from the South District Board( or someone prepared to be elected on to that committee as well) again to sit on the Management Committee to report back to the South District Board what is going on in the ECCBGA if you need more information please do not hesitate to contact Graham Pryke, Cricket Development Officer.
