Men's General meeting 6.00pm Saturday 1st August to discuss the future of the Adams and Newton teams.    

Held 5.00pm following the Men v Ladies on how we can generate more interest and support for the County Adams and Newton Teams for 2010.

A total of 14 people stopped behind to discuss this problem, only two of which were regular Adams players so there was no real feedback why there is lack of support for the Adams Team. Actions from the meeting:

1.       PB(Sec) to send an availability sheet for 2010 games by post to all known County Bowlers.

2.       Club Secretaries and Captains please advise of any new bowlers who would be interested in bowling for the County and PB(Sec) to write to them.

3.       President or NC official to attend Affiliated Club meetings and explain about North Cambs if invited.

4.       Ask each Affiliated Club to put forward a “rink of 3 players” that can play together in either Adams or Newton.

      Other players can still mix up but it was felt that some players want to play together.

5.       More publicity of the trial game to attract new players.

6.       Variable start times for local games say 10.30am? To be discussed at Skegness with other Counties.

7.       Reduce the number of rinks from 6 to either 4 or 5? To be discussed at Skegness with other Counties. 

The general feeling of all present was that we should do all we can to maintain two teams and not go the way of North Essex.
