AGM hears call for improved conduct
The main point of note from a very low-key AGM, held in the Neptune, was the implementation of a Match Day Code of Conduct for the players, after Vice-Chairman Mike Wilson and General Manager Richard Lusmore both acknowledged that there had been a noticeable “dip in standards” during pre-season.
As part of its Charter Standard status, the Eastenders already subscribe to (and adhere by) the Football Association’s Codes of Conduct for Football, Team Officials, Coaches, Players and Parents/Spectators. However, following concerns voiced at the meeting it was decided to bring in a specific Code aimed at the match day conduct of those representing the Club. It is hoped to roll this out for the first time this Saturday.
Other than this the meeting was a fairly straightforward affair. In his Chairman’s Report, Doug Clubley again congratulated the members on continuing to field three teams every Saturday. Whilst acknowledging it had not been the most successful season, he praised the First Team on their victory in the inaugural Holderness Cup Winners Cup, the Reserves on regaining the Melvin Douglas Memorial Trophy and the Casuals for “just being there”! He also gave a big thank you to the sponsored cyclists (“Hugging The Coast”) and support party at Easter, special thanks to Danny Campbell on his efforts with Club development and various other Committee members and volunteers which, he says, contribute to “making this club one to be proud of”.
Richard Lusmore’s General Manager’s report gave a detailed breakdown of the Club’s 2007/08 season, again acknowledging that it had been one of disappointment overall but that “the current feeling around the Club is that better times may again be on their way”. He admitted that the imminent departure of Dan Potts and Danny Campbell’s relocation has hit the Club hard in the area of development but that as a whole we continue to move forward.
Unusually, despite close scrutiny, the Treasurer’s Report passed off almost without comment; the Committee was re-elected en bloc and there were only a couple of minor changes to the Club Constitution (along with a request that this be displayed on the Club Website - agreed).
Other topics discussed on the evening included Registration fees, Subscriptions and the aforementioned Code of Conduct before the Meeting closed at 9.19pm.
