Presidents address
Tony Williams spoke of senior cricket success last season, with four teams in finals. Great result.
Thanked Alan Draper for his work as the Director of Senior Cricket. Looking to build on last year’s
great results for the coming season.
Junior cricket we measure success differently – not based on results on the park but engagement,
skills development and fun. Last year we had the most kids ever playing for ACC juniors. Not having
an U17 team did hurt us a bit. The U17’s players played seniors and assimilated well.
We had coaches and team managers for every team in juniors which was great.
Milo programme; 88 kids went through this. This is the 2nd largest in SA, and the largest in the NorthEast of Adelaide.
T20Blast also kicked off; a great success. 120 kids played at our centre, of which 30 were ACC
cricketers, the largest represented club in this programme. The aim is to get these kids to play in our
juniors and then into our senior sides.
Tony then thanked the Committee for their work over the last season. Personally thanked Diann
Brand for the work she did last year. Tony also mentioned that last year was another first; we
achieved more money from fundraising and grants than we’ve ever done before.
Treasurer’s report
Andy ran through Profit and Loss for the year (attached at the end of these minutes). Thanked Diann
Brand, Chris Hunt and Giannina Furlan for the grant money and fundraising. Dean Piro asked about
player subs; Andy confirmed almost all paid, which is a significant improvement on previous seasons.
This will be even more tightly controlled for the coming season.

Junior Cricket
Aim to grow Milo, T20 and junior cricket for the coming season
Andy Mulvany briefly ran through the planning about a girl’s cricket competition in the north-east of
Adelaide. Under the aegis of NEJCA with four foundation clubs proposed; Golden Grove, Hope
Valley, Athelstone and Walkerville.
Senior cricket
Tony ran through senior cricket. Announced that ACC would field three turf sides for coming season.
A Grade will be a 2-day side in playing in the ATCA C3 division. Tony said the club had option to play
higher but he was not sure not sure how we’d go. The decision was made to enter at a lower division
and aim to get promoted. This team will be based at Max Amber Reserve.
B Grade will be a 1-Day side playing in the ATCA LO2 division. This team will be based at Max Amber.
C Grade will be a 1-Day side playing in the ATCA LO5 division. Based at Vaughtan Oval on South
Terrace Adelaide.
D-Grade will continue in the C&CCA hard wicket competition and will be based at Foxfield Oval.
Tony acknowledge that the C Grade side’s home ground is a fair distance from the club and he would
arrange with ATCA to move a minimum of three home games to Max Amber through the season,
replacing scheduled games for either the A or B Grade sides.

AGM Minutes
Captains
Tony said that the committee would be seeking nominations for captains (or interest in a leadership
group) this year. Reported that all of last year’s senior captains had renominated and that there was
one additional nomination.
Bob Hutchison suggested that the committee look at formally appointing vice-captains. Tony said
while a good idea, this would need to follow the appointment of captains as they would need input
into the vice-captain decision.
Preseason training.
Tony confirmed pre-season training to commence Aug 28 at Mega Sports Indoor complex in Windsor
Gardens.
Junior training scheduled to begin on Sept 11 at this stage.
Policies
Tony presented and briefly discussed three policies around the Good Sports programme. Copies
were supplied to the meeting. These were:



Smoke Free Policy
Safe Transport Policy
Alcohol Management Policy
Tony invited everyone to read these and if anyone had any issues or comments to discuss with the
Committee.
Nets
Discussion around practice facilities and club investment. The intent from the committee is to invest
in improving the training facilities at the club. Jason Kelsey asked when they would be available.
Tony briefly ran through the plans which still need to be ratified by the committee.
Andy advised that all dates would be shared via the club’s Facebook page once known.
Fundraising
Chris Hunt and Giannina Furlan advised that they would again be doing the chocolate fund raiser.
Pricing is the same as last year at $50 a box. Encouraged seniors to take a box. Juniors would not be
invited to participate at this stage as it was administratively complex last year. Andy suggested that
this could be managed by each of the Junior Team Managers once known.
Tony raised the traditional major fundraiser at Angle Park Greyhounds for discussion. Tony asked if
the club should continue to do this based on the recent issues with greyhound racing. The meeting
discussed a pre-season quiz night pre-season as an alternative.
