Apologies for Absence

Rceived from Sian Priest & Guy Westhead.

Minutes of the last AGM

These were made available to all present (as well as having been published on the website), & there were no matters arising.

Captain's Report

The season’s match statistics were that the Dodgers won 11, tied 1, & lost 12 games. This was a good come back after losing the first 5 games, & there were a few cancellations for various reasons. Dodgers strength in depth was increased this season, with some welcome additions to the team, namely Sacha Hateea, Rob Cooper & Peter Lee Junior (no relation to Peter Lee Senior) however, we do need to improve our all-round fielding. Phil McBarron scored over 550 runs, with the highlight being his maiden Dodgers ton, although Sacha led the averages with 60 & John Cooper was the leading wicket taker with 15. Overall, we had a reasonably good year & also won a trophy in the Civil Service 6-a-side tournament (jointly shared with the Superstars).

Finance Report

The Treasurer John Cooper gave his report, & as at November 2009 the Dodgers account was in credit by £665. This represented a profit of £139 over the year, after various loan repayments. The Dodgers membership fee will remain at £10 each & there were 25 paid up members in 2008, an increase of 6 from last year. £250 in membership fees & £965 in match fees were collected during the year. The full accounts will be made available soon by the Treasurer for auditing by Franca, & they will be shown to the Committee at its next meeting in 2010.

Election of Officers for 2010

The following were elected unopposed standing for the posts as indicated:

John Carr (Captain)
Neil Priest (Vice-Captain)
Phil McBarron (Chairman)
John Cooper (Treasurer)
Robert Fox (Secretary)
Kim Matthews (Fixture Secretary)
Peter Lee Snr. (Committee Member without Portfolio)

Thanks were recorded for all the Committee's efforts during the past year.

Subscription, Match & Net Fees for 2010

It was agreed that these will stay the same as last year as follows:

- Dodgers Membership = £10.00
- Evening Match (No Tea) = £3.50
- Afternoon Match (No Tea) = £4.00
- Afternoon Match (With Tea) = £5.00
- Evening Nets @ The Oval = £5.00.

Away fees will be the same as those of Home games.

Selection Policy for 2010

It was agreed that nobody should have to miss 2 games in a row that they are available for, except for the few "higher profile" games where the opposition are particularly strong. This will be proportioned to general availability, to try & prevent any last minute withdrawals. A reserves list will also be in operation. Nobody will open both the batting & the bowling to give everyone a fair game.

Recruitment & Website

The Dodgers website www.dodgerscricket.org is maintained by John Cooper, who was thanked for his efforts. The domain name is billed bi-annually has been paid for until August 2011. Hosting is billed annually and is paid for until August 2010. The website has the relevant details for anyone interested in joining up. Word of mouth recruitment is also helpful, as only about 5% of new recruits came via the posters put up around the various Govt. buildings. Any Match reports & blogs will be very welcome next season, & are easy to upload apparently. Anyone interested in contributing should contact JC2. A proposal that the Man of the Match should write the match report was discussed and was generally thought to be a good idea.

2010 Fixtures

Kim Matthews has taken on the role of Fixture Secretary again & thanks were given to him for all his sterling work in organising the fixtures. He mentioned that the coming year would be his final one as Fixture Secretary, and asked for a volunteer to help him this year to enable a smooth transition next year.

The fixtures for the coming year are likely to be similar to those of last year, but a few new ones are planned. The possibility of playing more games at other grounds (e.g. Barnes Common or Fullers), given that Chiswick will be reduced to 3 pitches & no bar next season, is also being investigated.

Equipment Purchases

A full equipment audit will be undertaken during the close season; however, a complete new set of batting gear will be purchased for next season, as well as boxes of red & white balls. Pete Lee Senior also has a helmet people can borrow as well. A locker will also be made available for use to store equipment in at Great Minster House (DfT building) for away games etc.

Closed Season Activities & Other Social Events

Nets have been booked for various dates next March & April 2010 & JC2 take bookings for spaces in January. Pre-Christmas drinks in the Cask Pub at Pimlico on 17 December have been arranged.

2009 Player Awards

Player of the Season: Simon Cousins
Top Batsman: Sacha Hatteea
Top Bowler: Rob Cooper
Best Fielder: Matthew Taylor
Most Improved Player: Mike Dollin
Champagne Moment: 6-a-side team sharing winning the DfT/CLG Civil Service inter-departmental Tournament.

Any Other Business

It was proposed (by Neil Priest) & seconded (by John Carr) that David Pope should be elected a life member of the Dodgers Club, on account of his unique contribution to the club over many years, for which he was thanked by everyone present. David announced earlier this season that unfortunately he had to retire from Cricket for health reasons. He will be missed, & hopefully he will still be able come & watch games next season.

Dodgers have unanimously agreed to give £100 to Superstars for a trophy or shield to be purchased in memory of Ken Block, one of their stalwarts who tragically passed away earlier this year. It will be played for in a special game between us & Superstars every season, with former colleagues of his invited.

No Dodgers Cricket Tour took place in 2009 as there was not enough interest, however, the Superstars team is hoping to tour over the early May Bank Holiday weekend in 2010 (venue TBC), & anyone interested in going should contact Barry Gigg.

Date of Next Committee Meeting

It was proposed to hold the next Dodgers Committee Meeting on 2 March 2010 (after nets) at the Hanover Arms, near the Oval.

Player Profile - Guy Westhead OBE

2009-10-13T07:15:00.000+01:00

Guy has two trademarks: an inability to play forward to any delivery and the ability to hit the top of the net when we're practising at The Oval... when he's bowling.

Guy has a South African cousin (Guy van der Westhead) who replaces him sporadically. This year it was for his own invitational XI.

Guy received an OBE in 2006 but no-one knows what for.

Is not inclined to stand on ceremony despite his SCS grade and OBE and is happy to be addressed as Guv, Gaffer or Boss by his grateful teammates.

Guy's Top Ten Favourite Bands

Guy says - My top 10 favourite artists roughly in order are:

Slade
Gary Numan
Nena
B52s
Buzzcocks
Stranglers
Oasis
Muse

OK, so that is only 8! I'd have more difficulty narrowing it down after that.

Player Profile - Rod Paterson

2009-09-18T08:07:00.000+01:00

Rod is affectionately known as FPS (Future Permanent Secretary) following his rapid promotion to G7 at the tender age of 13. As befits his youth, Rod is one of the team's more agile fielders and has a fine throw and a generally safe pair of hands. He is also our quickest regular bowler by some distance but does not always get the wickets he deserves, frequently suffering a number of edged catchable boundaries due to lack of competent support in the field from his ageing teamates (he has been known to stand with hands on hips staring skywards as the demon Pope snares another victim). Rod knows how to hold a bat but does not get many opportunities to show his capabilities.

Rod played even more games in 2009 than in 2008 but took fewer wickets. Continued to suffer from lack of quality Dodgers fielding. There was some solace in a few good knocks with the bat (and a nice average courtesy of having only been out once) and was as ever, athletic in the field and took four catches.

Would like to see Reading promoted by the start of the 2010 cricket season.

He continues to drink more ale than lager which has to be a good thing.

Player Profile - Neil Benn

2009-09-18T08:00:00.001+01:00

In his Dodgers heyday, Neil just pipped Adey in the speed gun challenge, with one wind assisted down-the-slope delivery clocked at 29mph. Neil was one of our most consistent and reliable bowlers as reflected in his stats. Also had his moments with the bat, including a virtual lone hand against Warwick Castle. Is rightly proud of his Yorkshireness.

Neil was persuaded out of retirement this season for one fateful game v Tilburg Regions. Inspired by not getting a bat and only 2 overs he has promised never to return again!

2009-09-18T07:22:00.000+01:00

Chris did not play for Dodgers last season due to a change in job and locations but the door is always open for a return.

Occasionally, as WebChief I receive emails from people asking whether or not we have any really good photos of people getting comprehensively bowled. Fortunately such a photo does exist (see below) and lo and behold it features Mr Jacobs. Somewhat illogically this display of batting skill actually formed the basis of our recruitment campaign for several years!

2009-09-18T07:19:00.000+01:00

Notoriously unpunctual (see also Russ and Raj) but showed great persistence in his efforts to get to the Energy Exiles match in August. Confronted with a broken down train and the prospect of a closed Barnes footbridge, Damian only arrived about 30 mins late and we didn't have to send out a search party.

Helped set up a new fixture this season v St Anne's Allstars @ Barnes Common which we won.

Damian's highest score was 40 and that might've been higher had he not turned his invitation to attend the McBarron/Boycott Yorkshire School of Proper Creekit Techneeeq. It's not about how quick it's how many! Even in Twenty20!!

Raj made his debut in 2008 but in 2009 made limited appearances with little success with either bat or ball. Hopefully next year he'll be available for more games. Raj's lack of a sense of direction and an inability to read maps has gone down in Dodgers legend. Next season we promise not to play at any grounds that are too hard to find!

Player Profile - David Pope

2009-09-18T07:09:00.001+01:00

Saqlain Mushtaq has a dart; Muttiah Muralitharan has a Doozra; Shane Warne has a Zooter. But none of them has anything as potent a weapon as Popey's speciality ball - the Doobler. It pitches on off stump drawing the batsman forward, then pitches again on middle-and-off, forcing the batsman into an ungainly swipe across the line, then hits middle.

A desperately reluctant batsman, he has struggled in the field except for one sublime moment in the 2001 season when he trapped the ball at mid off a la Tony Currie, then stooped and threw down the stumps in one sweep. The batsman hasn't stopped shaking since. David is feared and revered in places as far apart as Buckhurst Hill and Croydon.

We were all sad when David hung up his Dodgers boots in 2009 so those who took up that bet (a double with Russell Brand to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury) with Ladbrokes on him taking his first catch are gonna be SOL*.

Player Profile - David Lowe

2009-09-18T07:08:00.000+01:00

Runner up to Rob Fox in the 'World's Baldest Bloke Championships', David's bowling reached legendary status this season with his 5 for 8 v Corinthians at Chiswick (the match every Dodgers bowler wished they'd played in). Eventually returning the second best ever analysis (4-1-8-5) David swept the board for the MoM.

Player Profile - Peter Lee

2009-09-18T07:06:00.001+01:00

There are no suitable superlatives to describe the contribution of our recently promoted Derby County fan. The highest compliment one can pay is that his competitive, argumentative, sniping from the sidelines approach means he could be mistaken for a Yorkshireman (were it not for the lager drinking). Peter had some good moments with the bat but his bowling continued to blow very hot and cold and greater consistency is needed.

Peter brought the Weekenders to Chiswick one sunny Sunday afternoon and a great time was had by all. We even signed up two of his players, albeit on a temporary basis.

By his standards, Peter W Lee Sr (as opposed to Peter W Lee Jr) had a quiet year with the bat. The main highlight (apart from his knock for the above-mentioned Weekenders) was an unbeaten 29 v Nomura for which he also won Man of the Match, aided no doubt by his tight endgame bowling performance.

Peter is affectionately known as FDSRP (Future Deputy Secretary to Rod Paterson) and works with the DfT "great and good". It is as yet unclear as to whether Peter's promotion will mean he's able to play more or less for the mighty Dodgers.

Player Profile - John Hilary

2009-09-12T20:12:00.004+01:00

John continued to contribute well with bat and ball without being quite as prolific as in some previous years. Continues to excel in his chosen career in the charitable sector and was recently promoted to Chief Executive of 'Send me money you pampered rich western bastards'.

Continues to be a thoroughly decent egg, doing good work for good causes - will hopefully continue to infuriate Rod by congratulating opposition batsmen on good shots.

Once had long hair (see below).

Player Profile - Andrew Crawford

2009-09-12T16:18:00.002+01:00

The trainspotting Charterhouse old boy has departed for new pastures in Brussels so it is doubtful we will see him for some while.

On his day a quick/slingy bowler and a destructive bat, Andrew has been one of our premier all-rounders. We shall particularly miss his sunny persona in the field and his advisories on which end of the platform to stand at when catching a train at an unfamiliar station (although McBarron seems to be slipping into his shoes quite ably).

Player Profile - Will Streatfeild

2009-09-12T07:20:00.001+01:00

Inside Will there is clearly a fast bowler struggling to get out. The juggler returned to just the one ball this season undecided on the best form of attack. Undoubtedly he has raw pace but ended up being rather wayward with it so he reverted a more considered approach. Perhaps some hard work in the nets in March and April next year will see the new and improved Will unleashing the fury on a more regular basis.

The Artful Juggler

Player Profile - Rob Fox

2009-09-12T07:18:00.000+01:00

Rob had another good season for Dodgers with both bat and ball. He is now 8th on the All-Time Wicket-taking list with 58 and with 300 runs in 35 innings at 20.00 must be looking to complete the 1000 runs / 100 wickets double in a few years. He would join a rather exclusive club with only Messrs McBarron, Benn and Hilary (J) for company.

Rob is this year's recipient of the Natarajan Narasimhan Trophy for not being able to find the ground for his performance on 26 August v Energy Exiles.

Player Profile - John Cooper

2009-09-12T07:17:00.000+01:00

John is rightly revered for his excellent organisational skills and the marvellous Dodgers website. His wank batting and dodgy fielding prove he is human though (although in 2009 thus far there has been a certain improvement)...

Player Profile - Matt Taylor

2009-09-12T07:14:00.002+01:00

Matt frequently got in amongst the runs at the top of the order this season but, all too frequently, he got out just as the going was getting really good. Matt's excellent fielding still impresses and sometime scares the rest of us mere mortals. He took three catches and made all of them look easy.

Matt picked up his usual jammy wicket from a single over v Treasury and still dreams of making that magical 50 overs mark.

Is still rightly proud of being from Yorkshire.

Player Profile - Simon Cousins

2009-09-12T07:13:00.002+01:00

Despite only playing in 14 matches, Simon bowled the most overs of any of our bowlers this season thanks in no small part to marathon stints against Weekenders (17-1-74-2) and Buckhurst Hill (15-4-58-2). Simon also memorably steered us to victory with the bat with 15 not out in a partnership with Stephen Bennett in the match against Legal Commission.

Simon missed out on the bowling award this season but his consistent form all season long brought him the deserved title of Player of the Season with 2 MoMs and 35 votes overall. This is Simon's third win and follows his back-to-back triumphs in 2004 and 2005.
