The Secretary outlined some changes following the reorganisation of the YPLN league. The York Vale and Scarborough Becket leagues are joining the YPLN in 2025. There are now 130 cricket clubs under the YPLN umbrella. Goole first team allocation is awaited until the league AGM, but it is likely that they will remain in the Championship East division. The second team will be in the Ebor division 2 and the Secretary provided a list of the teams. There are local matches and good teams and the list looks positive.

Indoor practice nets are being organised for the New Year. Practice has been arranged at Drax on Sundays afternoons 11 – 1pm from 5th January.

Neil advised that there are umpiring and scoring courses available for anyone interested.

Discussion took place on how the Club can improve the Club’ social media output. More players need to help with match reports. i.e. getting results, performances, sponsors etc. onto the club’ various social media outlets to advertise the Club and sponsors.

Discussion took place on the team’s week –end teas. The Club’s teas are already good but there was a decision to improve with additional expenditure.

There being no further business, the chairman closed the meeting at 8.40pm.
