The Informal Discussion
This is the meeting that replaces the "AOB" that used to be part of the AGM. It is informal insofar as it has no specific agenda, but notes of the discussion are recorded and any outstanding issues are taken to the next Operational Committee meeting for action.
Mike Brighton (webmaster) asked the meeting what they would like to have
d in the website that is not currently available; this sparked a short discussion in which:- Neil Dimmock (Direct Member) commended it as being the best county website he had come across.
- Derrick Lovell (Direct Member) asked that tournament entry forms remain available on the website until the date of the tournament, even if the event is fully subscribed; this is because tournament organisers frequently rely on this, rather than sending hard-copy to officials.
- Chris Horan (Castle Moat & Folkestone Bowmen) asked that we publish the composition of the county team ahead of each match and provide a match report and photos afterwards.
