Managers’ Update

End of Season Survey

• Overwhelmingly positive

• Success of the new pink team

Training and Development 

• Appreciate all the volunteers that helped enable training

• Large increase in member size and positive turnouts to training meant hard to cater training for all levels

• Next year, the aim is for more batting practice, external trainers and tiered development 

Tournaments 

• About 20 tournaments entered for 27 teams

• EOS survey requested more comms, and a balance between social and competitive squads

• Raiders tournament was a rousing success with special mentions to two raiders who won the spirit of raiders award (Mary and Katie G)

• Glam slam was also a major success with the last minute change of location not dampening the mood. Karly was pivotal to this tournament and aims to run both a pre season and post season glam slam next season

Socials

• Big praise to Tom for all the events this year

• Held picnics, sports days, pre and post season parties

• Feedback from EOS was for more varied events. Noted that there was a board game social pre season

Comms

• EOS survey showed great positivity towards comms and the work Harry put in for clear communication 

• EOS survey requested more photos on socials and match recaps

Club Operation and Management 

• From the EOS, some members requested for more diversity amongst teams in the committee - club managers noted that everyone is welcome to volunteer for committee and encouraged people to do so. 

Financial Report from Kurt

• The creation of pink team in the publishing league led to some financial unknowns this year

• Raiders membership fees remained the same this year due to Deliveroo funds
